Why it's worth it
Velvet Mary Jane with a gold buckle shaped like it escaped a jeweler's bench.
The Edit
Navy velvet upper with a plush, light-catching pile meets whipstitched edge-binding at the sole — a seam detail borrowed from espadrille construction and given an entirely different register. The single strap closes with an organic-form gold buckle, its molten silhouette doing the decorative work against the flat, moody velvet. A terracotta leather lining at the throat adds a flash of contrast visible only in motion.
