It’s fashions worst kept secret. If you want to exude old-money elegance, there’s only one brand to turn to: Loro Piana. The Italian fashion house, known for super soft cashmere, cult-status pouch vanity bags and stealth-wealth suede loafers, has long been a go-to of those who want to invest in designer pieces without the need to shout about it. So, when I first spotted their pointed ballet flats worn by all the most stylish people, I must admit, I nearly missed them. However, it’s this understated elegance that makes them the chicest ballet flats to be wearing right now.
Lily Russo-Bah, Marie Claire's Fashion Director spotted them in a department store on a recent trip to Milan and was stopped in her tracks by how elegant they are, "the Rebecca ballet flats are quite possibly the chicest ballet flats I've ever tried on. The almond-shaped toe is rather unusual but is incredibly flattering as it elongates the leg. My favourite style is the suede in 'wild prune'."
