At last, a pair of feather-embellished shoes I can really love – not least because the feather on these Roberto Cavalli sandals isn’t actually real, but is leather embellished with Swarovski crystals. In fact, that feather is a work of art all on its own, and is well worth a closer look, so I recommend heading over to Net-a-Porter and taking advantage of their “zoom” function to see it in all its glory!
As for the shoes themselves, well, take away the feather and you’d be left with a simple but elegant pair of silver sandals, of the kind that will easily see you through as many evenings out as you want them to. It’s a good job, too, because at £730 you’re going to have to wear them a lot of times to get your money’s worth!


Wow, they really weren’t joking about the “chain detail” on these, were they? When you see those words in a product description, you can usually expect a small chain (or picture of one) somewhere on the shoe in question, but these look more like the kind of thing you’d use to lock up the family silver if you were feeling really, really paranoid.
