With a name that literally means “to shine,” these shoes help you look and feel like the star you are thanks to a distinguished cutout design that supports local South African craftsman. An almond toe and low stacked heel complement the final product.

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.

Your closet is long overdue for this addition. The Linde is an essential quality-crafted flat made with a leather upper, lining and sole.
