Why it's worth it
Real cowrie shells, not printed-on plastic ones.
The Edit
Smooth sheepskin leather thong sandal set on a solid 7cm wedge with a leather outsole and clean piped edge. The single vamp strap is lined with genuine cowrie shells — natural, irregular, slightly raised — against the flat tan leather. Toe-post construction keeps the profile minimal above the sculptural heel block.
Is now a good time?
