Suede Thong Sandals – Brown

Editors Notes & Details

Alaïa takes the thong sandal — the most democratic of shoe silhouettes — and makes it entirely their own. The straps are generously padded in deep chocolate suede, soft and sculptural at once, set on a slender kitten heel that gives the whole thing an unexpected elegance. The tan leather footbed is stamped simply: Alaïa Paris. It's a sandal that knows exactly what it is.

Why we picked it
The padded thong strap is the detail that elevates this from summer staple to considered purchase. Alaïa's ability to take something this casual and make it feel genuinely luxurious is the whole point — and this sandal is a perfect example of that.

How to style it
Wear with wide-leg tailored trousers and a fitted turtleneck (as shown) for a high-low contrast that works beautifully, or with a slip dress and minimal jewellery for a more relaxed summer moment.
