Amantine is named after 19th century French novelist, memoirist, journalist and early feminist Amantine Dupin (aka George Sand) and holds a special place in my heart, an adoration that goes beyond words. Amantine chose to wear men's clothes and smoked cigarettes at a time when this was scandalous - and we see her as the perfect namesake for this androgynous style!
Fashioned on my favourite last, Amantine boasts a low heel height of 3cm, delivering unparalleled ease with every step. The sleek, slightly pointed, slightly bulbous toe characteristic of this last elevates everything crafted on it to a realm of unparalleled and exciting refinement. We've added an internal platform to the front of the shoe which elevates the heel height by 15mm and really enhances the overall silhouette.
Pairing this stunning shape with a lace-up upper ensures not only a superb fit but also a touch of practicality. What truly sets this style apart is the sumptuously hand-woven leather vamp, adding an element of artistry and luxury to the design.
Simplicity reigns supreme in this style, where the overall form takes centre stage. We've deepened the profile of the heel, infusing the design with a bolder visual impact, yet the essence of Amantine lies in allowing its stunning silhouette to speak for itself.
Sleek, strong, and purposeful, this shoe is a statement in itself. Its design is meticulously crafted to turn heads and accompany you on every journey — from commanding workwear to a refined urban ensemble for any occasion. Amantine isn't just a shoe; it's a transformative element for your wardrobe, destined to elevate each outfit one step at a time.
