Calf Hair Charlotte Ballerina Flats

khaite uplifts traditional Italian craft methods in the design of the Charlotte ballet flats, using a sacchetto construction method to achieve an impeccably soft finish.

Translating from Italian to mean 'little bag', the technique involves stitching the calf hair uppers onto a soft lining as opposed to a rigid insole to create a slipper-like feel.

Pronounced ‘Kate’, New York-based Khaite’s ready-to-wear collections are characterised by the kind of contradictions that epitomise the city it hails from. Everyday pieces are realised in exquisite materials; classic luxury elements reworked with a modern twist. Running through them all is a simplicity and a sensuality that makes them unquestionably covetable.
