Ballet flats have been the must-have shoe of 2024. From mesh styles to solid and colorful prints, one thing is for sure; this flat shoe is everywhere. And we can see why! Ballet flats are classic, elegant and easy to slip on. They add a touch of sophistication to any look and let’s not forget that they are very comfortable. These lightweight slippers can be thrown into any bag when you need a change of shoes and are the perfect footwear for travel.
We are seeing ballet flats paired with everything from jeans and trousers to skirts, dresses and even casual shorts to dress up any look. Ballet flats are ladylike and give your outfit a finished, polished appearance. A big color trend we’re seeing for this stylish slipper is a light, sky blue or aqua (giving us Cinderella vibes) or bold, statement prints or embellishments (for a more unique look). So whether you’re looking for a subtle touch of color in this season’s favorite hue (or should we say blue!) or a bright, colorful design to stand out, here are the styles from Ivy Cove (laidback luxury brand of leather goods and accessories for men and women based out of Montecito, CA) that we have our eyes on.
Ivy Cove Beacon Ballet Slipper: $255
Make your feet the star of the party with the Beacon Ballet Slipper in the printed “Fleur de France” design. The stylish design features supple lambskin on the upper, a responsibly sourced footbed, and rubber on the outsole for comfort, support, and durability. Every detail including the elastic back was developed for your comfort. You’ll be wearing these all your summer festivities for many seasons to come.
Ivy Cove Boathouse Ballet Slipper: $215
The Boathouse Ballet Slipper is the freshest take on the classic design. The aqua color brings a coastal chic look and pairs perfectly with all your daytime outfits. The elegant design features supple lambskin on the upper, a responsibly sourced footbed, and rubber on the outsole for comfort, support, and durability. Every detail including the elastic back was developed for your comfort. You’ll be wearing these for many years to come.
The footbed of both the Beacon and Boathouse Ballet Slippers are made from 100% pre-consumer cutting room leather scraps that come with the manufacturing of leather goods. These leftover materials are usually sent to landfills but are now being processed and upcycled into beautiful designs that are comfortable, durable, and sustainable. This practice of conscious consumption using a closed loop production system supports our planet and is one of the most conscious ways of sourcing leather.
As Vogue showed us in their recent article, celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Katie Holmes have been loving this light blue, ballet flat color trend. Get this effortlessly chic, luxury look for less that is very on pointe with Ivy Cove.
