Named after the Greek word for boat, Pliaria takes the traditional preppy style and gives it a laid-back – but highly desirable – feel. Handmade in Greece to a typical boat-shoe shape, the style is given a twist with a pony-hair fabrication and distinctive leather laces rolled to form a special knot (inspired by the father of our creative director, Christina Martini), and finished with gold charms hanging from the laces. Choose a patterned pair – Cow, Lynx or Bambi – or opt for plain black. Already a must-have style, Pliaria adds insouciance to dresses or tailoring, or pairs beautifully with weekend favourites.
