Pitanga Beige Leather Ballerinas

The Pitanga takes the ballet flat somewhere sharper. The toe is long and finely pointed, the topline is cut in a deep curve that opens the instep, and a slim band of black leather traces the whole edge before running down the centre of the vamp to the very tip. It is the kind of detail you notice on a Parisian street and remember afterwards.

In ivory with that black trim, it reads graphic rather than sweet, which is what makes it easy to wear: it lifts cropped trousers and jeans as readily as a summer dress, and it does the work of a heel without the height. The leather softens with wear and takes the shape of your foot, so it becomes more comfortable, and more yours, over time.

Designed, signed and worn by its creator, and handcrafted in Brazil: certified leather, small-batch production and a level of finish you would expect at three times the price.

Leather upper, synthetic lining, cushioned insole, rubber sole, flat heel of about 1 cm. Made in Brazil with leather certified by the Leather Working Group.

Size & fit — please read before ordering

Made on the same French last, cut slim and precise. If your feet are slim to average, order your usual size. If they're wider, we'd suggest sizing up.

The pointed toe adds length at the front without adding width, so the fit you feel is the fit across the ball of the foot, not at the tip. Unsure about your size? Write to us at info@mangara.be before ordering and we will gladly help you choose.
