Riley Open Weave Ballet Flat

Why it's worth it

The entire upper is woven by hand — the foot is part of the shoe.

The Edit

Open-weave leather hand-braided into a wide lattice grid across the entire vamp and toe box, with a smooth gathered leather counter at the heel — the contrast between structured braid and soft gathered back is the whole design argument. The squared toe and slim leather outsole keep the silhouette grounded, while the cutouts let the foot breathe through every step. Handcrafted in Spain.
