Dries Van Noten 75 patent leather wedge sandals

The Dries Van Noten 75 patent leather wedge sandals is the label at its most pared-back, prioritising fit and finish over flourish.

In brown Upper: bovine leather, sole: bovine leather, UK 2, the construction rewards a closer look rather than just a passing glance.

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