Ancient Greek Sandals
THE SHOE brand Ancient Greek Sandals is introducing several new styles in its Spring/Summer 2019 collections. Aside from traditional leather, other new materials used in this collection are tweed, canvas lamé, and “Retino Pois,” which is a semi transparent mesh with flocked black pois. For big buckled sandals, a vinyl tortoiseshell fabrication has been introduced. Black, white and natural sandals have also been updated to include an oversized tortoiseshell buckle. There are also three new plaited styles. Thin twined leather straps subtly wrap around the front of the foot, while each style now has a more solid vachetta back-strap to hold the foot more securely. Other sandals are now decorated with chains, from large and chunky to an elegant baguette diamond chain. These and more styles are exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati and Gateway.
