Why it's worth it

Cap-toe ballerina flat, but make it basket-weave.

The Edit

Handwoven leather strips form a wide open-lattice upper on this round-toe ballerina flat, finished with a braided black topline trim and a contrasting black cap toe in a tighter checkerboard weave. The slim stacked leather heel and unlined construction keep the profile light and season-appropriate. Crafted entirely in leather — no synthetic filler — the visible weaving irregularities are the point.

Insider Tip

The open weave means no sock liner — bare feet or thin no-show socks only, or the lattice edges will catch.
