women's slippers DIVA HI (4.5cm wedge) black suede

DIVA HI (4.5 cm wedge heel) in black suede & black patent with fine gold trim and antique gold button 

• DIVA HI  (diva is the latin word for a female deity) is the most sophisticated and glamorous stlye of the whole wedge collection. Because of the way true slippers are made (turn-out construction) there have never been in the market complicated styles or styles using sophisticated materials and accessories. We challenge these limits.
  The pattern of  DIVA !  is in tune with the best of Art Nouveau design and it is an intricate game of layers and fine trim details which highlight the main lines. The careful selection of leathers and materials displays surprising contrasts in colours, in textures and in glossy versus matt.
  We wanted these slippers to be something fallen out of time bringing back the flavour of  tailor-made "couturier dresses"  or bespoke shoes. Our times are overwhelmed with perfect products that all look alike, everything is mass produced to very high standards. But we do not want "standards"! We want exclusive, personal items!  When everyhting was truly handmade products had little imperfections but they  had a heart and something made them feel part of us. They would "grow on us" and take our personality....
• The upper is in black suede while  the V-shape central part  and the whole wedge are in black patent. A fine gold trim runs along the intersections drawing a larger "V".  An antique gold button with a ray pattern completes the look.  The heel area in in soft black nappa leather, the lining and insole are in gold nappa.
   
• Made on our WEDGE last*  which has a 4,5 cm (=1.8") wedge heel which gives that bit of extra lift and special allure. The design of the wedge heel is nicely streamlined for a contemporary fashion look. It is important to note that even having a heel these slippers are still built following the traditional turnshoe construction so they are very different from a shoe because the leather wraps the foot and there are no rigid shanks or midsoles.
   
• Made in Italy by hand by artisans matching patient traditional construction and careful leather selection with the use of innovative materials to guarantee long lasting comfort
   
• The whole insole is padded with a special open cell compound which ensures that you get both comfort and a breathable environment for your feet naturally preventing the development of odours
  Outsole in black bovine suede.
