A Edward Meller Moment

Soleil Et Lumière

Heels Or Flats – A Tale Of Shoes. Summer is the soft glow of light across water, sundrenched afternoons at the beach, and as evening falls embracing the crystal lights. It is lighter hair, sea salt on your skin, cool drinks and long hot days. It is now time for beautifully crafted shoes that embellish all that is summer.

Edward Meller has long been at the heart of some of my favourite shoe collections. The heritage and tradition through their curated collections crafted by artisans around the world are made with love. They are obtainable style luxury.

Espadrilles, Heels. Pumps or Ballet Flats – what will be your summer shoe moments?

THE ESPADRILLE – LA ALPARGATA

Espadrille, or Aplpargata in Spanish, takes its name from the Catalan word espardenya, used to describe the simple canvas shoe with coiled rope sole and vertical stitching worn by 14th-century people in the Spanish Pyrenees.

Their versatility as a shoe today makes them a must-have for long summer days and beyond. Each pair of Edward Meller Espadrilles are hand-sewed creating authentic Spanish details.

Introducing Marcella – a captivating multi-buckled espadrille sandal handcrafted in Spain. it offers a perfect blend of elevation and comfort. Or discover a harmonious fusion of fashion and function with the Mercedes espadrille sandal. This high summer pair showcases a crochet-knit front. A collection designed by Filippo Raphael for Edward Meller. All of the collection is hand-crafted in Spain.

THE Espadrille STYLE TIP

Pair with a shirt dress for the perfect smart-casual balance. If you’re aiming for a laidback yet put-together style the rope-soled espadrilles are your go-to.

Shop the Spanish Espadrille Story to curate your summer vacation style.

A PRETTY BALLERINAS CAPSULE

The legacy of Pretty Ballerinas dates to 1918 when the Mascaro family embarked on their journey of crafting ballet slippers in Menorca. Each pair of Pretty Ballerinas takes a remarkable journey through the hands of over 60 skilled artisans, a process that retains its predominantly manual essence.

A timeless grace of a collection by Pretty Ballerinas for Edward Meller.

Beauty Life Moments covets the style GALIO Classic Loafer in a classic off-white. These timeless flats, meticulously crafted in Spain, are fashion versatile for any moment. Shop the Pretty Ballerinas Capsule – as you cannot stop at just one pair.

A TOUCH OF THE SUMMER HEELS

For a season of glamour take a step in some poolside sparkle to elevate your style. Make a statement with sunny metallic. Be a little bold this holiday season. It may be a tale of shoes, but summer also means handbag glamour. The Neria Pouch Bag, embellished with crystals will sparkle by the pool.

For long summer days elevate your style with heels so high. Shimmer in the gold of the Saige85 Strappy Sandal. Or be poolside in the cool of the silver snake-embossed leather of the Sedai70 Sandal.

Modern femininity calls for moments of stylish heels that reflect your grace and sophistication. The elegance of the Damini60 Slingback Pump in Black Patent is a style essential piece. The tapered buckle completes the look by Fillipo Raphael.

From the Edward Meller’s Platinum Collection the Alexa85 Closed Toe Slide showcases a stunning diamante band that wraps elegantly around the foot. In Champagne Satin it will elevate any fashion footwear statement.

The sparkle of Destellar60 Crystal Mesh Slingback is a story of elegance and sophistication. Adorned with opulent gold leather trim designed by Fillipo Raphael. Craftsmanship meets style and glamour.
