A.W.A.K.E. MODE Arna Shoe Python, Python Designer Shoes
The A.W.A.K.E. MODE Arna Shoe Python is an authentic Python pair from the AW26 collection, made in Italy. Available now at Coveti, a curated luxury-fashion retailer with guaranteed authenticity and worldwide shipping. The house brings the same sculptural thinking to its shoes that it brings to its tailoring: an unexpected heel, a bow cut like a lapel, a shaft that folds like a collar. These are shoes for gallery openings, evening events and considered city dressing.
Crafted entirely from python embossed leather, these pumps feature a softly squared toe and a sculpted wedge heel that continues the same textured finish. The curved heel gives the silhouette a defined architectural shape, while the all-over python construction keeps the design cohesive. Try the pair with straight denim and a sharp jacket for evening. The heel measures 70 mm. Offered on pre-order, with dispatch from the atelier expected between 26 and 30 October.

About A.W.A.K.E. MODE
A.W.A.K.E. MODE is a London ready-to-wear label founded in 2012 by Natalia Alaverdian, a former fashion director at Harper’s Bazaar Russia. The house built its name on sculptural tailoring and bold asymmetry, taking the language of classic suiting and cutting it off balance. A.W.A.K.E. MODE shows on the Paris Fashion Week calendar as a member house of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, and the label is stocked by Net-a-Porter, Selfridges, and Harrods. Its tailoring reaches the red carpet too: Renée Zellweger wore A.W.A.K.E. MODE to the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, and Rachel McAdams wore the label on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2026. It is a Coveti editor favourite for women building a wardrobe of directional, investment-grade design.
