Why it's worth it
Cowrie shells, but make them chrome.
The Edit
Smooth sheep leather thong construction on a solid 7cm wedge with a clean beveled profile and leather outsole. The toe-bar strap is mounted with a row of silver-plated cast cowrie shells — sculptural hardware that sits flat against the vamp rather than dangling. Red insole lining is the only interior detail.
Is now a good time?
