As summer approaches, the hunt for the perfect sandal commences. Do you go for something sleek (a barely-there leather gladiator) or something fun (a marabou mule à la Barbie)? If in doubt, there's one style that will always deliver: the classic Hermès Chypre. Just like the Oran, the Chypre sandal has got quite the celeb fan club because, quite simply, it's a sandal that you can't help but covet. The Hermès Chypre Sandal is made from calfskin so it has the iconic cut-out in the shape of an 'H'. Chic, no?
The sandals go with practically anything and, available in more than 20 shades of leather from sunflower and coral, they're the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.
