Expertly hand-painted by Tuscan artisans in a weeks-long process, Tortoiseshell Tieks have an unrivaled depth of color achieved by the delicate layering of rich ambers and honey browns onto soft, full-grain Italian leather. With its distinctive markings and glossy patent finish, Tortoiseshell is a polished icon that stands the test of time. Each pair is utterly unique. • 100% premium, soft, full-grain leather ballet flats • Upper leather hand-painted in Italy • Non-elasticized, cushioned back • Non-skid rubber soles and comfortable cushioned instep Size 8.
