Let’s switch topic – shoe talk.

It’s easier to wear black pumps, but if you got the ‘fashion’ spirit, then everything that’s simple doesn’t really get you excited. Sophisticated is much more challenging as you will need to assemble the right combination of styles to get things perfect. And when it is perfect, it’s rewarding.

Presenting the Bottega Veneta Chrysanthemum Shantung Sandals, a pair of gorgeously feminine, beautifully crafted pump shoe that has been given a lavish and sophisticated edge by a striking combination of smooth and shiny leathers.

For those that do not know what ‘Chrysanthemum’ means, it’s a flowering plant, also known as Mums or Chrysanths. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe.

The Chrysanths flower prints are also decorated on the dainty ‘bow’, with contrasting heel and toe. The colors orange and pink makes the shoe stand-out, giving an impression of quality and luxury.

Made from calfskin and silk, the heels are 11 cm and they are priced at $830 USD or €590 euro’s at Bottega Veneta e-store.
