Why it's worth it
A flip-flop that earns a dinner reservation.
The Edit
Thong silhouette mounted on a sculptural flared kitten heel — roughly 5cm — with a fluted base that tapers then widens at the contact point. Slim double straps in smooth matte leather meet a lightly cushioned footbed, and the nearly-square toe profile keeps it firmly in the design-forward column rather than the resort one.
