Meet the New Neutrals: Pre-Order is Live!

We are delighted to announce our first pre-order collection of 2026: the New Neutrals Collection. Introducing Cordelia Edwardian Oxfords, Vera 1920s Bar Shoes, and Annette 1930s Oxfords, all available in both standard and wide width- and for 15% off each pair when you pre-order by March 15!


You may have already noticed something unique about this collection. All three styles come in the same splendid neutral colorways: Almond, Honey, Caramel, Chestnut, and Black. This is the defining feature of the New Neutrals styles! Our intention was to design three historical reproduction shoes that were not only versatile in style, but also in color. Each of these shades was carefully chosen so that the wearer could use them with any number of ensembles, and so that the shoes could blend in seamlessly with the leg line for a subtle, streamlined look.


Are you ready to meet the New Neutrals?

Cordelia Edwardian Oxfords


Cordelia is a gorgeous Edwardian oxford, carefully reproduced from the smart and sharp menswear-inspired oxford styles that were so popular at the tail end of the 1900s. We have placed special attention on getting the subtleties of this shape just right, and the end result is a classic oxford that pairs with anything. Cordelia has lace-up closures, with removable decorative tassels in both smooth leather and suede. Switch up your look with either set of tassels, or remove them entirely for a new look altogether. Cordelia is built on a new custom, perfectly balanced, 2″/5.08 cm French spool heel, designed for comfort without sacrificing style. Like all styles in the New Neutrals collection, Cordelia is available in Almond, Honey, Caramel, Chestnut, and Black, and in both B and D widths.




Vera 1920s Bar Shoes



Behold: Vera, our new classic 1920s bar shoe. Complete with the quintessential strap across the instep, Vera features a functional button closure. Vera’s smooth leather uppers are decorated with graceful suede piping in coordinating colors, curving over the toe. Made with a new, period-accurate 1920s last, Vera is built on our custom 2.5″/6.35 cm Spanish heel. This iconic 1920s shoe would have been worn both day and night, and in our splendid New Neutrals shades, it goes with just about everything. Choose from Almond, Honey, Caramel, Chestnut, and Black, and in both B and D widths. Don’t forget your button hook!


Annette Vintage Oxfords


Last but not least, we have Annette. This adorable open-tongue oxford is made on the same, round-toed 1930s last as Jean and Rita from the Classics Collection. This lovely vintage reproduction shoe features a suede saddle with Art Deco shaping, perforations, and stitching. With a stable and well-balanced 2.5″/6.35 cm Cuban heel, Annette is both attractive and comfortable. Like Cordelia and Vera, Annette comes in Almond, Honey, Caramel, Chestnut, and Black, and in both B and D widths.



The New Neutrals collection is 15% off each pair in our U.S. and E.U./U.K. stores through March 15. All you have to do is pick a color!
