Our new Crochet mule is an 85mm-heeled backless mule made in our
favourite material mix: fine Italian leather and mesh. It features a special
embroidery texture developed in layered chain stitch, inspired by
traditional crochet techniques. The floral motif is essential to the crochet
story, as although it appears to be on the side of the shoe strap, it
represents the source of all the crochet rays starting off in a spiral
movement and developing into an organic design. The geometric floral
motif in the core is a fundamental motif in Bulgarian folklore and signifies the compass of life.
