The new Simona Vanth Princess is the latest signature example of our “hybrid” design approach. We have used materials, manufacturing “tricks” and an unusual series of supplier-collaborators to transform a shoe we love very much for its chicness and icon status but would never wear - the Italian rubber grommet-soled driver moccasin – into a contemporary very very sad princess wardrobe must! The iconic grommet sole and tubular moccasin construction of the classic driver shoe remain, but between the midsole and grommets we have inserted a ultralight EVA 50mm wedge sole whilst the Princess-y two-tone patent leather loafer is enriched by two very special tassels, made from antique Ligurian olive wood, left either raw or over-printed with a carbon fiber print using Aeronautical water-transfer prints. The result is a 100% Made in Italy 100% Simona Vanth classic for the very very sad princess inside all of us… P.s. they look good with just about everything
