TO OUR SHAGREEN . . .




I could just about die! I need a whole lotta Alaia! Especially these chagreen ballet flats. I mean have your e.v.e.r.

Me n.e.i.t.h.e.r.

Shagreen is a hide created from sharks and rays, which has an unusually grandualted surface. The name derives from the french chagrin meaning annoyance, no doubt referring to the resped surface of the skin. In addition to being a luxury material, shagreen is also used on the handles of swords and daggers in order to prevent slipperiness.

And hey, we love a nything that can go from runway to alleyway and have looking chic no matter which way we turn!
