Dolce & Gabbana Taormina 60 embellished raffia sandals

What stands out about the Dolce & Gabbana Taormina 60 embellished raffia sandals is how little it tries — the label lets the construction do the talking.

The Upper. 100% Raffia, Sole: 100% bivine leather, embellished build comes through in multicoloured, UK 6.5, with a finish that holds up to close inspection.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
