It may be cold inside, but it’s hot at American Duchess, because today marks the start of our first pre-order of 2025: introducing the Resort Collection!
This fun and fabulous vintage reproduction collection consists of four beautiful new styles, designed to keep you covered for all manner of festivities and activities. The Resort Collection has so many special features within it. This collection has a flat, a heel, smooth leather, suede, color blocking, a leather-free style that also comes in wide, and a do-it-all sandal that we know will be your go-to footwear choice come warmer weather. Beverly Flats, Clementine Vintage Ghillie Shoes, and Betty Sandals are all brand-new to our line. The fourth style in this collection is an old favorite, brought back from the archives: Cora!
The Resort Collection is 15% off each pair through March 2 when you place a pre-order. Pre-ordering is the only way to guarantee you get the size and color you desire, and it’s the best way to get a reduced price too.
Without further ado, let’s meet the styles of the moment!
Clementine
We’re thrilled to introduce this iconic canvas ghillie, a sporty and sweet, entirely leather-free vintage reproduction shoe that is bound to turn heads. Based on original ‘ghillie sandals’ from the 1930s and 1940s, this casual-wear shoe has cotton canvas uppers, a super comfortable, rounded toe, and a durable rubber sole. Our widely beloved, custom 1.6″/ 4 cm Cuban heel (the same as on our Paris Boots and Claire Oxfords) is sturdy and suitable for all-day wear. Clementine features curvaceous ghillie tabs bound with grosgrain, for an authentically vintage and irresistible aesthetic. Clementine has cotton canvas uppers and a cotton canvas lining (with a sturdy synthetic yoke under the tabs), which keeps the feet cool and comfortable in warmer temperatures. Clementine comes in three beautiful solid cotton colorways with complementary bindings: denim/ivory, moss green/taupe, and ivory/red. Or, try the fabulously festive multi-colored stripe for that vintage resort look! Clementine is available in both B (standard) and D (wide) width.
Betty
Looking for a perfect slingback sandal? Betty is a vintage reproduction sandal that can take you from sand to city, from poolside to the dance floor. Based on an original pair of 1940s sandals from our collection, Betty has just the right amount of coverage for a wear-anywhere sandal. Whether you’re looking for a shoe for your European city adventure or you’re heading to the nearby seashore, grab your Bettys and you’re ready to go. Betty features a brand-new, custom wedge heel that measures 2″ in the heel, and a 5/8″/ 1.6 cm platform under the toe box. With a leather lining and smooth leather or suede uppers, Betty will keep you cool and comfortable- and stylish!
Beverly
Say hello to Beverly! These smart little flats are your go-to shoe for any activity. Based on vintage sporting shoes and flat-soled leisure footwear, Beverly has the vintage aesthetic you desire with all the comfort of your comfy sneakers. Made from soft, flexible leather, Beverly will mold beautifully to your foot with wear. Beverly features perforated uppers with brogued heel counters and toe caps in fresh colors. Rubber soles and low rubber heels make Beverly durable and easy to walk in, whether you’re trying your hand at pitch-and-putt or trekking across cobblestone streets on sightseeing expeditions. Pair Beverly with trousers, dresses, skirts, and dungarees, wear them bare or with socks- she looks adorable regardless! Choose from black/soft white, cordovan/soft white, pink/soft white, and grey/soft white.
Cora
She’s back, and with a brand-new look: it’s Cora! Cora is revamped and returning from the American Duchess archives. Since this style was first introduced in 2019, we have made some tweaks and adjustments for Cora 2.0; namely sleeker straps, wider and more comfortable cutouts, and some minor fit adjustments. This gorgeous shoe features sleek cutouts, our custom, sturdy 3″/ 7.62 cm Cuban heel, and laces up with a coordinating petersham ribbon. Based on period originals, Cora comes in two smooth leather solid colors and two colorblocked suede colorways. These 1940s reproduction beauties are the perfect choice to elevate your favorite warm-weather looks.
There you have it! The Resort Collection is 15% off from Feb. 21- March 2 in our US and UK/EU stores.
