It’s that time of year for the IT summer shoe to give us a wave. Characterised by its rope sole and ancient history, it is the feature amongst others whereby the espadrilles excels.
Not too long ago I purchased the Women’s Gucci Tian espadrille. In spirit of my trip to China (view here) during the coarse of May last month, I felt this was the perfect pair for me to animate the trip. The shoe features a floral design which is inspired by landscapes of China. The subject, made up of a hummingbird, butterflies, dragonflies & flowers are illustrated through “quick brushstrok-style graphics,” printed on to the classic Gucci GG logo canvas.
The fit offers comfort and durability, although there is a possibility that they may give way between the front reinforcement and sole (as they are handmade, this is to be expected). However, like the Chanel’s & Penelope Chilvers, these are a winner of difference, cultural appreciation and style.
If interested in these, please bare in mind that you may need to purchase a shoe size or a half down & they will stretch! Go into the store and always try items on to prevent any disappointment.
You can purchase the Tian’s here other great options can be found in Kurt Geiger, Office, Penelope Chilvers, Top Shop, Chanel and Minelli ranging from £50 - £465.
Get yourself a pair of espadrilles this summer, trust me! They go with everything!
