Why it's worth it
The fan is folded leather, not a bow — one material, two completely different gestures.
The Edit
Smooth nappa leather wraps a pointed-toe vamp that terminates in a full-bloom fan appliqué — multiple leather strips, stiffened and layered, fanning upward from a single pivot point in the same nude as the upper. The 50mm flared kitten heel is curved in profile, giving the shoe a sculptural outline from sole to spine. Italian construction, leather lining, and a clean white leather insole underneath keep the finish precise where it counts.

Why it's worth it
Glossy croc, no buckle, no apology — just the heel and the point.
