Description

The Foundation Flat - Size Chart Visual

A timeless pair that feels as good as it looks. Our signature ballet flats are expertly made by hand in Italy from rich brown leather and their sleek shape is defined by the natural curve of the foot. The directional squared toe and flattering vamp give this humble ballet pump a simple yet modern update.  Designed for everyday wear, this pair is versatile enough to wear to work and at the weekend, too.

This Cognac colour is exclusively made-to-order, it will not be available in stock. Your order is custom made for you, and only you. This helps us significantly reduce waste by eliminating excess inventory and produce in a more sustainable way.

    Perfect silver shoe!

    I had been looking for a silver flat for ages and finally came

    across these Essen flats - perfect classic but modern ballet flat. Love the higher vamp and square toe. Leather was so soft so no blisters at all. Would definitely purchase another pair in a different colour!
