Mansur Gavriel is the leather-focused brand behind some of our favorite tote bags and designer handbags, and it’s been cosigned by stylish celebs like Katie Holmes and Gigi Hadid. So yes, it makes a mean pair of classic ballet flats. Available in tons of hues, from soft rose to vibrant red, this high-quality leather pair is a dependable pick you’ll keep turning to for countless outfits to come. “They’re ultra-comfortable and flexible, and while I typically opt for ballerina flats with a little less coverage, there’s something chic about this trendier glove silhouette,” says Schwartz. “I’ve gone through many other pairs in the past 20 years, and I’m particular about the toe area being extra soft, or else they end up hurting my narrow feet. But these, as the name implies, are a total dream, and the only ones that didn’t have any kind of break-in period—no ankle blisters. I’ve also had mine for about a year, and the toe is only now starting to look a tad weathered, which is impressive for something so low to the ground and that I walk in for miles.”
