"La vita é un viaggio e se viaggi in prima é meglio" - Guido Nicheli
It's our favourite season of summertime dreaming, and this year we're dreaming of living La dolce vita in Tuscany! We're excited to introduce our first (but definitely not the last) 1940/50's inspired wedge called Elba, named after the stunning Italian island town of Elba! Think of seaside strolls in the early evening when the sun casts golden light along the shoreline, and you're dressed in your summer best to go for an aperitivo!
With a very round and wide toebox and a comfortably light elevation in the wedge, the Elba is THE sandal you need for summer for those long days on your feet as you venture around new cities. Designed with more delicate straps and curves, our Elba wedge is also made to look daintier than the standard 1940/50's wedge!

Why does my shoebox have postage labels and tape on it?
To cut our cardboard waste by more than 45%, we designed a durable shoebox that acts as a shipping carton so there is no excess use of cardboard. If you order 1 pair of shoes, it will be shipped by itself with no extra box to contain it, meaning it will have some tape and postage labels on it.
If you have ordered 1 pair of shoes as a gift or want to keep the shoebox in new condition to keep, you may request to have it shipped in an extra carton to protect it from postage labels. Please just add a note in the notes section in your cart.
- How much are customs fees usually? From what we know through customer experiences, it is usually a minimal fee of around $10-20 USD depending on the size of your order.
Returns for Exchange/Store Credit/Refund
- Please try on a clean carpeted surface in case exchange is required - any shoes returned with marks on the soles or upper will incur a 30 USD damage fee
- Return requests must be submitted within 14 days of receiving the parcel and in original condition with original dustbag and shoebox
- Any goods not received due to late collection or unpaid customs taxes will only be resent upon the repayment of $10 USD postage
