Introducing the Bernadette Oxfords

The moment we’ve all been waiting for! We’d like to introduce to you the Bernadette Oxfords, in collaboration with the peerless Bernadette Banner!




Last Fall we started working with Bernadette to develop an Edwardian oxford in her particular, beautiful style. We went through several different designs and iterations, but the clear winner was these super-chic striped two-tones with wide ribbon laces and practical 2 inch French heels.

We then asked you guys what colors you liked and it was a pretty close race! We decided to, well, do more of the favorite colorways than limit it to just two or three, so we have FIVE color options this season!

Blue/Black – a dusty, desaturated grey-blue pair with black
Cognac/Black – we’re kindof calling it the Pumpkin Spice Shoe 😉
Ivory/Black – very classic Edwardian color combo, goes with everything!
Brown/Tan – for the adventurer in you. Pair with all tweeds forever.
Tan/Ivory – sporting and snazzy.

The Bernadettes are one of our first shoes made in Portugal. We’ve spent most of 2020 onboarding the new Portuguese factory, working on heel molds and patterns, and preparing for this pre-order. We’ve also extended the size range to US women’s 5 – 10 (half sizes), 11, and 12.

We’re really proud of these and thrilled to have been able to work with Bernadette on these. We hope you like them!

Pre-Order is open August 21 – September 4, 2020
