Au.si | f. South African name meaning: sister

An ode to our sister circle, this dependable flat is made for the woman who is always there...the shoulder to cry on, the brutally honest advice guru, the up-for-anything gal. Whether blood-related or not, this is the women who have the back of all her “sisters.” She favours footwear that's easy to slip on and a cinch to style, in other words, the Ausi. A timeless shoe in ballet pink or black leather, you'll appreciate the subtle details that make this style stand out—like the V-shaped cleft and topstitching.

• Made of soft, naturally distressed toffee leather with natural markings that are a sign of top-grade leather. 
• Lined with comfortable and breathable pig split leather 
• Vegetable-tanned leather soles
• Resin heel
• Made by human hands in Cape Town, South Africa

*Fits like normal. This shoe is best for a normal to wide foot. This design can at times be difficult for those with high arches, therefore we recommend the Linde Loafer as the best alternative for a beautiful fit. 

Half sizes are considered custom orders and are available for purchase only on demand.

Lin.de | f. South African name meaning: lovely

Your closet is long overdue for this addition. The Linde is an essential quality-crafted flat made with a leather upper, lining and sole.

With an almond toe, high throat and two-part construction, the Linde falls somewhere between a ballet flat and a loafer.  It's just the shoe the modern-day superwoman needs to accomplish her busy to-do list. The elegant design is currently available in muted metallic or pale matte leather. You won't be disappointed with either, but you'll love having both even more.
