The shoe gathers itself around the foot, and then says nothing more. The Colette is built on a single gesture: an elasticated topline that draws the leather into soft, even folds across the vamp. Everything else is restraint — an elongated point, a heel low enough to disappear, a crinkled patent surface that catches light without asking for it. The ruching is not decoration. It is how the shoe holds the foot. Elasticated ruched topline gathering the leather across the vamp and collar Elongated pointed toe Crinkled patent leather with fine natural crazing and soft gloss Low stacked block heel, 2 cm (20 mm / 0.79 in), wrapped in matching leather USS logo embossed on the insole, tone on tone Slip-on construction, no closure Bordeaux Profond is the colour that makes a flat read as a decision rather than a default. It sits against cream and ivory tailoring the way a good wine sits against linen — deep enough to anchor the look, quiet enough to stay out of the way. Wear with wide-leg trousers cropped at the ankle, or with anything that leaves the point visible.
