Brian Atwood Stellah patent-leather and calf hair sandals, $995
These shoes arrived at Net-a-Porter late last week, and even although calf hair isn’t my favourite upper (Just a personal preference, but if my shoes have more hair than I do, it I find it just a little bit icky…). the colour combination was more than enough to guarantee them a post here. Bright purple and coral perhaps isn’t the most obvious colour pairing out there, but it works amazingly well, and when you add in the curved upper and multi-strap fastening, it all adds up to a stunning shoe.
That quadruple strap might look good, however, but I’m willing to bet it would be a bit of a pain to keep fastening and un-fastening again (especially after a glass or two of festive champagne!), so I’m relieved to see that these actually fasten via a zip at the back of the heel – much easier!
[Buy them]
I was just going to comment on the annoyingness of the buckles. Yes that is a word. Lucky they have a zip, and I bet these look amazing on.
How pretty are these?! I actually don’t mind the “hairy” texture.
leather and calf hair…leather and calf hair…leather and calf hair…somehow it’s just a sad combination.
I could take or leave the buckles, but I LOVE the colour combo!
