Friends Lily Atherton Hanbury and Katya Tyumentseva launched Le Monde Beryl to create flats that are not only comfortable and chic, but also preserve traditional craftsmanship techniques. Designed in homage to the slippers that Venetian gondoliers wear, this pair has been made in Italy from plush velvet and lined with cushioned leather that grows more supple with every wear. Slip them on with cropped hemlines to show off how the V-shaped vamp flatteringly frames your foot.
