Tribal inspired does not necessarily mean retro or vintage, and plenty of shoe designers have transformed tribal inspired sandal designs in extremely modern sandals. The mix of new and old is of course something that a fashionista knows to appreciate, and the following three jeweled sandals are examples of how this mix can be performed quite successfully:
1. DSQUARED2 One Band Rope Tie Sandals: Only the DSQUARED twins Dean and Dan Caten can get away with such a creation with panache. The rope detail, the blue nubuck, the color blocking, the platform, the bead decoration. They may all seem too much to handle, but not for the design duo! Such a concoction is so signature of their label. This, is what I call a statement piece.
2. Frye Bridget Ornament T Strap Sandals: The wood, cork, rafia, and the ornaments on the vamp all blend in with this summer must-have. The eclectic mix of materials makes this pair unique, at the same time easy to use as it is in the earthy neutral shade. Comfort is an added value too!
3. Antik Batik Clami Suede Sandals with Paillettes: Who says dainty adornments and wood do not mix? Not Antik Batik designer Gabrielle Cortese. She is a genius in putting together wood, intricately sewn jewels, and suede. Although I find the height of this a bit low, its still a beautiful pair nonetheless.
Whether you are based in the US or Europe, or even Africa, these sandals are bound to get you attention wherever you go. Spring time means sandal time, so put those boots away and get ready for summer!
