Natalie and the Unicorn

The Natalie is a modern take on a classic ballet flat, beloved for its signature shape and asymmetrical bow. For this design, we've reimagined it in Emerald Tapestry Satin, hand-embroidered in a millefleurs motif inspired by The Lady and the Unicorn, the celebrated tapestry series held at the Musée de Cluny in Paris.

With 112 hours of handwork in every pair, it is the longest to make in our Collector's Series. Primarily silk threads in 40 colors, accented with beads in two shades, are worked into a tiny space through fine threadwork and French knots. It's a level of skill only a few artisans can achieve. Rabbits, foxes, birds, and berries wander across the shoe, so new details reveal themselves the closer you look.

Designed for all-day wear, the Natalie includes extra padding and a rubber forepart for comfort and traction, along with the refined vamp our customers know well. Made to order in extremely limited numbers. Orders must be placed by October 21, 2026, and are expected to ship week of March 29, 2027.
