Hollyould Flats

I love surfing Stylebakery (stylebakery.com) for high/low products that can be found online and one of the editors swore by these classic ballet flats from Hollywould. She claimed that as much as she's worn hers frequently for the past SIX years they still look good as new!
Being a frequent wearer of ballet flats myself I thought I'd check out this potentially great investment into my collection.

They come in a variety of different collors, mostly in a cool metallic sheen and are available in 2 styles - the Hepburn which is more classic and the Audrey which was a dip towards the middle of the shoe. Possibly named after Kate and Audrey Hepburn 2 classic style icons.

(above) Black Hepburn Ballet for $195

Soft Italian leather and matching grosgrain-trimmed upper. Leather sole studded with rubber "driving" tread. 15mm heel. Removable matching grosgrain ankle-tie and reinforced heel. Please note your leather ballets run true to size, and the soft leather will stretch; so you want a snug first fit.

(above) Silver Audrey Ballet $195

Every true Hollywould fan has at least one pair of ballets in her footwear arsenal. But this interpretation of the classic elevates the style with a graceful d'Orsay style. Please note your leather ballets run true to size, and the soft leather will stretch; so you want a snug first fit.

I'm going to have to do some digging to see if these are worth the $$!
