Bernadette Antwerp Shoes: The Pumps, the Bowtie Heel and the Velvet Slippers

Bernadette Antwerp is a dress house first, so its shoes are few and deliberate. The Antwerp label makes a pointed pump in Italy, in lacquered leather and in a silk-blend satin, and for Autumn Winter 2026 it adds a bowtie pump and embroiders three of the satin pairs by hand with its Lingerie Rose. It also makes silk velvet house slippers. Coveti has 9 pairs this season, from $480 to $1,720. This is each one, how they fit and what to wear them with.

The Classic Pump

The house shoe is a pointed pump on a 4.5 cm heel, a height you can stand in through a long wedding and a dinner after it. Bernadette makes it in the colours of the season instead of adding new shapes: a grey lacquered leather, a lime satin, and for AW26 a black satin embroidered with tonal black Lingerie Roses and a red satin embroidered in pink. The Bernadette accessories guide has the September pairs.

The Bowtie Pump

The new shape of the season is the Bowtie Lacquered High Heel Pump: a taller pointed pump in lacquered leather with a small bow at the vamp, made in Italy in black and in ivory. The ivory pair appears in the house bridal imagery, which makes it a strong choice for a bride who wants a plain shoe with one detail. Our designer bow heels edit puts it next to other houses’ bows.

The embroidered satin pumps

Three satin pumps are embroidered by hand in India with the Lingerie Rose, the same flower the house prints on its silks: tonal black on black, pink and rose on red, and multi pastel on pink in the High Heel version. They are made in Italy before the embroidery is added, which is why they sit at the top of the range. Embroidered pumps: how to wear them covers styling and care.

The velvet slippers

The velvet slippers are soft silk velvet house shoes with rose embroidery across the toe, in dark lime and in ivory. The house designs them to match its silk sleeping masks, and the pair is one of the easiest gifts in the collection: see the Bernadette gift guide.

Sizing

Bernadette says its pumps fit true to size; take the size you wear in other Italian pumps. Coveti lists exactly the sizes the house makes, EU 35 to 41, with the UK and US equivalents on each product page. The slippers are sized by length: S is 23 cm, M 25.4 cm and L 27.3 cm.
