Begonia Blue Leather Ballerinas – Pointed Toe Flats
Begonia Blue Leather Ballerinas – Pointed Toe Flats
Details
The Begonia is a pointed ballet flat with one defining detail: layered leather worked across the vamp in a long art deco curve, each strip cut and set by hand. In this colourway the whole thing is tonal, a dusty periwinkle upper with strips of matt navy and indigo metallic leather running side by side, curling into a small teardrop ring near the toe and continuing around the topline as a fine trim. A pale topstitch outlines every layer, which is what keeps the pattern legible instead of blurring into one blue.
The upper blue is soft and greyed, the kind that behaves like a neutral: it sits with cream, sand, camel, chocolate and white as easily as black does, and it is far more interesting. Underneath, the construction is deliberately plain: a fine pointed toe, a natural leather sole with the tan edge left visible, and a barely-there stacked base. Nothing else competes.
How to wear it
- With a sand or ecru silk skirt cropped above the ankle, so the whole shoe stays visible.
- With cream tailored trousers and a stiff poplin shirt, for the daytime version.
- With a white summer dress, when the blue is the only colour in the outfit.
Size & fit: please read before ordering
This style runs small. If your feet are true to size, we recommend ordering one size up.
Add to that a fine pointed toe, which gives length rather than width, and a flat with no lacing or strap to adjust. If you are between sizes, take the larger of the two without hesitating. Not sure? Write to info@mangara.be before you order and we will help you choose.
