They are comfortable, they are smart, they are great for any occasion. We are talking about mules and sliders that in the last couple of seasons have been in the market embracing every trend from the embroidery, to the bejewelled to the leopard print and more. I've picked quite few options for this style of footwear that can be packed in your hand luggage and sort many outfits while on holiday. Also they are great at the security control at the airport.
*In Store* I think that these two
Kita mules by
Kurt Geiger London are gorgeous. They are made of leather with two different colour combinations, either silver and bronze or multi coloured. They' ve got matching bags as well and they come from size 2 to size 9.
