If your outfit was a band, the Kina would improvise a romantic melody on a piano keyboard. In black patent leather, this Mary Jane adds a glimpse of poetry to your jeans & white tee. With a classic trench coat, its red patent leather design creates the perfect harmony between elegance and impertinence, that so Frenchy je-ne-sais-quoi that Emily Ratajkowski, Maude Apatow or Alexa Chung like so much...
Its three straps can be crossed and uncrossed on tights, socks or bare legs. Endless possibilities.
To balance design and comfort, our French designers and Italian artisans ensure harmony between the 4-centimeter trotter heel, the arch and the suppleness of the leather: smooth, in velvet finish or varnished with our house coating - our little secret since 1952!

Care advice
Before putting your Carel's shoes to use, don't forget to remove the plastic film that protects your outsole.
Our patent leather shoes are already waterproof treated. Patent leather is a material that requires regular maintenance :
- Place raw wooden shoe trees, ideally made of beech wood in your shoes to absorb moisture.
- Keep them away from dust and any source of heat, storaged in a furniture or a shoe box.
- Clean, moisturize and polish them once or twice a month (! leather cream is forbidden !).
The Carel advice
Do not expose them to heat sources such as hair dryers or radiators; the leather may crack.
Size chart
EACH SHOE IS UNIQUE AS YOU ARE ;)
90% of our shoes are handmade in exclusive italian fabrics. Size may vary from one design to another. We advise you, once you take your measurements, to refer to the tab "Size & Advice" that you can find below the button "Add to cart" .
How to measure your size ?
Our tip:
While wearing a sock, place your foot against a wall on a sheet of paper long enough to keep your foot from sticking out.
Be sure to keep your heel firmly against the wall and your foot flat.
Make a small mark in front of your longest toe.
Finally, measure the distance between the end of your sheet and the mark you made.
If the length is between two sizes, round up to the biggest one.
