Available in several colours and materials, all Palesa variations are hand-assembled with leather soles and socks. A rounded topline and almond toe creating a flattering silhouette that's perpetually in style, and best of all, comfortable.

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. When it comes to footwear, our years of experience have taught us that comfort trumps everything else—although we don't settle for mediocrity when it comes to style either. 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.

• Made of soft, premium 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. For a narrow foot, it's best to size down.
