The Elixir — An espadrille wedge always has a special place in my collection because of its Spanish-craftsmanship roots.
The NearlyNude — I wanted to take the Nudist silhouette and give it a new design twist for the spring 2016 season, and what better way than with a trendy block heel.

The Nieta — This strappy flat sandal was actually sketched by my talented granddaughter. I thought it was so fabulous I put it into production and named it after the Spanish word for granddaughter.
