Sofie D’Hoore Fontana Long-Hair Lambskin Ballerina in Cherry
Fontana Long-Hair Lambskin Ballerina in Cherry
The Fontana takes the simplest of shoes, the flat ballerina, and makes it the boldest thing in the outfit. The whole upper is covered in long-haired lamb leather in a vivid, saturated red, so the pile spills softly over the edges and the shoe reads tactile and playful rather than neat and polished. Underneath, it is a properly made flat on a slim leather sole with the lowest of heels, so it wears as easily as any ballet pump. Made in Italy. Available online with shipping throughout Australia and internationally, and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
A red flat is one of the easiest ways to lift a simple outfit. Wear them with straight-leg jeans or cropped trousers so the shoe is seen, with a navy knit such as the Minos Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater in Midnight for a classic red-and-navy pairing. They also give a long dark dress like the Dawn Long Sleeve Silk Dress in Cosmos a more playful finish for dinner.

How do I care for long-hair lamb leather shoes?
Sofie D’Hoore recommends specialist leather cleaning only, so take them to a specialist rather than cleaning them at home.
What should I wear with red ballerinas?
Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the shoe be the colour. They work especially well with denim, navy, grey and cream, and with cropped or ankle-length trousers that show the shoe.
