Trying to remember a shoe recommendation - pretty flats

[SlicerAndEcho]

About a year ago someone on here was asking about flats. And a couple of posters recommended a shoe brand which I can’t remember. So I apologise for how vague this will be.

Lots of flats, and some Chelsea boots.
Lots of suede and velvet and embroidered (maybe?) styles. They looked a bit baroque (weird description).
I think a vaguely Italian sounding name, but not Italian.
Pricing about £120 a pair I think.

I think it was someone looking for alternatives to ballet flats.

Any suggestions much appreciated. Thank you!

Is it Esska?

It wasn’t, but I’ll have a look. Thank you!

I don't think it's the brand you are looking for but Rogue Matilda do fabulous flats.

Also, bookmarking to see what other brands get recommended.

Pretty ballerina?

Irregular Choice? Not vaguely Italian sounding though!?

I'm going down a wormhole now. Embassy London Never bought from them so no idea about quality?

It’s none of these, but I’m bookmarking them all so thank you!

I think brocade was the word I was looking for, rather than embroidered. In fact, now I’ve remembered it I’m going to trying searching with it.

I’d totally forgotten Irregular Choice exist. I love their ankle boots.

French sole?

Oh they have some nice looking brogues. I’ll have to see if I can find some reviews about the quality. I do like brogues. Thanks!

Not the one I was thinking of, but it was on that thread. Thank you!

I always covet Memery shoes, vintage style but modern fit. They do nice brogue-style flats as well as plenty of low-heeled shoes/boots if vintage is your thing.

I found them! Brocade helped.
It was Mandarina.

Thank you so much everyone! And I’ve got lots of others to look at now too.

Thank you!! I love the look of these too.

Embassy London shoes are really good quality. Wear well, super comfy.

Brilliant, thank you!

Mandarina look lovely - very tempted - does anyone know what the quality is like?
If money is of little object then these are very covetable...
