In leather and canvas this strappy metallic sandal has a history as rich as its style. One of the original Bernardo sandals, it was coined as the “new-style sun sandal” by Vogue in 1948. Thin gold straps weave over the top of the foot, through the metallic canvas back to tie around the ankle. Pair them with a white lace dress or a breezy printed caftan. They’re the glammest version of a gladiator sandal we’ve seen this season.
