The Ruched Leather Ballet Flats

This piece is part of the ATELIER capsule; an exploration of the modern wardrobe, founded on the principles of luxury and exceptional design. For Autumn Winter 2024, the ATELIER designers explored the ergonomic movement of ballet.

Inspired by ballerina slippers, these refined flats are shaped with softly rounded toes and bordered with gathered, elasticated trims. Tanned an enduring chestnut tone, they're crafted from buttery nappa leather that will soften all the more with wear and rest on polished leather soles. The subtly embossed insoles mark them out as an ATELIER piece, while the pull tabs allow you to put them on without creasing the hide.

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.
