Why Anonymous Copenhagen is worth it
Anonymous Copenhagen makes clean-lined Scandinavian heels and boots with a playful streak, handmade in Portugal and Italy with comfort in mind.
The shapes stay pared back, from pointed kitten-heel pumps to sleek heeled ankle boots, while the fun comes through the materials: croc-embossed calf, calf hair, metallics and animal prints. Every pair is handcrafted in Portugal or Italy from certified leather, with chrome-free leather linings and, on many styles, leather soles that mould to the foot with wear.
