Au.si | f. South African name meaning: sister

An ode to our sister circle, this dependable flat is made for the woman who is always there...the shoulder to cry on, the brutally honest advice guru, the up-for-anything gal. Whether blood-related or not, this is the women who have the back of all her “sisters.” She favours footwear that's easy to slip on and a cinch to style, in other words, the Ausi. A timeless shoe in ballet pink or black leather, you'll appreciate the subtle details that make this style stand out—like the V-shaped cleft and topstitching.

*Fits like normal. This shoe is best for a normal to wide foot. This design can at times be difficult for those with high arches, therefore we recommend the Linde Loafer as the best alternative for a beautiful and comfortable fit. 

Half sizes are considered custom orders and are available for purchase only on demand.
