Dries Van Noten - Beaded Ballet Flats - 38.5

The flats are primarily constructed from leather, with intricate bead embellishments and electroformed resin elements. The sole is made of rubber.

The bead embellishments should be handled with care to prevent snagging. Gentle dusting with a soft brush or cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking.

Yes, they are designed for elevated everyday wear. However, due to the delicate beadwork, they are best suited for environments where they can be protected from excessive wear and tear or potential damage.

These flats are made in Italian sizing. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as Italian sizing can sometimes differ from standard sizing.

While the rubber sole offers some protection, it is not recommended to wear these beaded flats in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the leather and embellishments.

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a soft dust bag. Ensure they are not crushed or piled under other items to protect the beadwork.

Handle the shoes with extreme care. If beads are significantly loose or detached, seek professional shoe repair for secure reattachment to avoid further damage.

Gently clean the leather with a soft, dry cloth. Apply a small amount of appropriate leather conditioner sparingly, following product instructions, to restore shine. Test conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure correct sizing; Italian sizing can vary, so confirm fit.
