Cendrillon Ballet Flats

Originally designed for French actress Brigitte Bardot—who famously wore the red version in the 1956 film And God Created Woman—these ballet flats have a round toe, a dainty bow, and a low-cut vamp that shows just a sliver of toe. They’re handmade in France using the brand’s signature stitch-and-turn technique—a process in which the sole is sewn inside out then turned right side out, which gives them a flexible, glovelike fit. Done in black leather, they are about as timeless as it gets and pair well with just about everything.
