A sandal cut from natural leather that punctuates the detached look of summer with a very Parisian refinement.
At Chanel, it’s a woman’s sandal stamped with the legendary double C that catches the eye. A double C that is all the more revealing of the house’s iconic codes, as it is cut in the style of the Byzantine crosses adored by Coco Chanel.
The house of Dior offers lambskin sandals, graphic and perfect for the season. These sandals are trendy, a little bit daring and stamped with the name Dior in gold. A reminder of Cocteau’s phrase: “Dior… A magical name that includes God and gold”.

He says: “There was this person, Sarah, who was trying on the shoes, she was painting her nails. I said to her, ‘Listen, let me… I can take your nail polish, your bottle. She says ‘Wait, I’ll finish my nails and give it to you’. No, wait, there’s something I want to check. So I have a little battle. I managed to get the bottle of nail polish back. She only had two nails done, she wasn’t happy. Then I finally emptied the bottle of nail polish on the sole and I looked at my drawing and I said to myself ‘well, this is my drawing’.
