Pointed Mesh Slingback Kitten Heels

The classic slingback may have sartorial roots in the '40s, but this season our accessories team interpreted them through a modern sportswear-inflected lens. Expertly crafted in Portugal from butter-soft leather, they're designed with exaggerated pointed toes, a mesh vamp and flared kitten heels. They rest upon lightly padded insoles so they're comfortable to walk in all evening.

A brand whose aesthetic has been so influential that it’s hard to remember what went before. But when COS launched in 2007 against a backdrop of fast, trend-led fashion, its focus on minimal pieces at accessible prices was a breakthrough moment. With a focus on style over trend, it heralded a new era for interesting, modern, considered design and changed our wardrobes for the better, forever.
