The New Journey
Beginning something new asks only one thing of you: to place one foot in front of the other and step forward, whatever the path brings. People will tell you time is slipping away, but more often, it's the very thing carrying you forward.
New chapters are daunting. But the quiet comfort of a pair that stays with you, season after season, makes the unknown easier to step into. The AW26 collection is made to last: shoes that travel with you and outlast the season that introduced them.
The Aveline Suede Boots

Some journeys ask you to travel light, but never without the right pair. The Aveline suede mid-calf boots are made for exactly that: a soft suede boot in a rich, earthy brown, shaped to move with you when the road turns.
Look closely and discover the handmade details. The whipstitch detailing runs along the upper, worked one stitch at a time in Italy, the kind of finish that doesn't fade with the season, but deepens with it. Set on a stacked block heel, it's a mid-calf boot built to be walked in.
The pieces worth keeping aren't the ones that suit a single moment; they're the ones that stay. Worn with denim and a knit by day or a midi skirt by evening, the Aveline carries you through winter, and well past it.

The Eva Loafers
Anyone can wear a plain loafer. The Eva croc-embossed loafers are for the ones with a little more to say. The difference is in the surface: croc-embossed leather, a finish pressed with subtle texture that catches the light and adds depth. It means the Eva becomes the distinctive finisher, even when simply paired with jeans, with tailored trousers, with whatever's closest on a Monday morning.
Everything else is built for ease. This slip-on loafer sits on a soft leather lining and a cushioned footbed, and grips the ground on a durable rubber sole. A low heel, a clean front, nothing fussy in black, grey, or brown.
Not every shoe needs to make an entrance. The Eva just makes everything you already own look a little sharper.

The Jordan
Every new chapter starts the same way, one foot in front of the other. What changes is who you've become by the time you take the step.
The Jordan Mary Jane is a shoe for that in-between. It begins as the sweetest silhouette in the room, the classic Mary Jane, and grows into something with more resolve: the neat strap broadened and fastened with a bold silver-tone buckle, set on a chunky lug sole and a solid block heel. Soft reference, strong footing, the same way a person can keep who they were and still become someone new.
In smooth high-shine black leather, with a rounded toe and a cushioned footbed, this block-heel Mary Jane moves with you through whatever the day asks, tailored at your desk, easy with denim. The lug sole is made to be walked in, because the road rarely stands still.
Trends shift and seasons turn, but the way you carry yourself doesn't. The Jordan is a classic with a bit of attitude, a pair that keeps its character wherever you're headed.

The Shanti
Not every day asks you to blend in. Some ask you to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
The Shanti faux fur ankle boots are for those days: a high-pile faux fur boot that turns texture into a statement. Where the rest of your winter leans quiet, this is the piece is impossible to walk past without a second look. Holding confidence to wear something bold and mean it.
Underneath the drama, this platform ankle boot is built to hold its own. A chunky rubber platform and a block heel add height, while a deeply treaded outsole keeps you sure-footed through the coldest, wettest months. It pulls straight on, sits on a cushioned lining, and stays warm in tonal black, so as bold as the texture is, it still goes with everything.
The best wardrobes hold room for both: the quiet pieces and the ones that announce you. The Shanti is firmly the second kind.

The pair that stays with you in the next step
Change asks something of us: the willingness to step into what we can't yet see, and to become someone new along the way. The right shoes won't make that step for you, but they'll be there for it: steady underfoot, season after season, wherever the next chapter leads.
That's what the AW26 collection is for. Discover the pair that stays with you, always.
