Balenciaga Cagole embellished thong sandals

The label keeps the Balenciaga Cagole embellished thong sandals understated, leaning on quality and proportion rather than obvious branding.

Upper: rubber, in black, UK 4 — the kind of detail that's easy to miss until you're holding it.

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