Why it's worth it

A beaded heart where the cowboy eagle would have been.

The Edit

Western flame inlays rendered in scalloped snake-embossed leather frame a cream pebbled shaft — the silhouette is cowboy, the 7cm kitten heel pivots it firmly toward cocktail. A beaded heart sits at the cuff where a stitch-work eagle would have been expected, sewn in matte black acrylic against the reptile collar. The pointed toe and curved spool heel share a single unbroken black outsole, giving the two-material construction a clean underfoot finish.
