• Front tie detail with gathered ruching along the vamp - the defining detail that sets these apart from a standard ballet flat
• Square toe silhouette gives a contemporary, structured edge to the classic pump shape
• Faux leather upper that holds its shape and sits smooth against the foot without stiffness
• Flat heel between 0-2cm, making these a genuinely all-day option that doesn't compromise on style
• Low-cut sides and a close-fitting construction keep the shoe sitting neatly on the foot without slipping

The gathered tie detail across the front is what makes the Flora worth a second look - it nods to pointe shoe lacing without leaning too heavily into the trend, keeping the overall effect refined rather than costume-like. The square toe grounds it in something more modern, so these sit comfortably alongside a midi skirt and knit just as well as they do with straight-leg trousers and a tailored blazer. The flat heel means you can wear them from a morning coffee run through to an afternoon spent on your feet at a gallery or a browse around a market. For a Saturday look, pair with wide-leg jeans turned up at the ankle so the toe shape reads clearly. Come the working week, tuck them under cropped tailored trousers and a fitted shirt. The ruched front detail does enough to make the outfit without needing anything else at the foot.
