LICKETY-SLIP

Put your best—and most cushioned—foot forward this spring with the help of L.A.-based designer BEATRICE VALENZUELA, who has brought vivid colours inspired by her Mexican heritage to her sandal line. The Monocolor Sandalia comes in six rich new shades, and the brand offers a little trivia lesson on how each came about: “Pitaya” is named after a pinkish-purple tropical fruit, while “Cochineal” is named for an insect that’s used to create a bright-red pigment. Made with a dense foam sole and cushioned bands wrapped in lambskin, each pair is slightly different as a result of efforts to waste as little material as possible—so they’re built with comfort and sustainability in mind.
