The Bernadette Shoe Line

• The Classic Pump: a pointed pump on a 4.5 cm heel, the height that walks a full day and still reads dressed. The house cuts it in the colours of the season rather than adding new lasts, and offers a High Heel version of the same shape.
• The Bowtie Pump: a pointed high-heel pump in lacquered leather with a small bow at the vamp, made in Italy in black and in ivory.
• Lacquered leather: a smooth calf upper with a lacquered finish and a soft gloss, made in Italy.
• Embroidered satin: a silk-blend satin upper (Satin Imperiali, 72% viscose and 28% silk), made in Italy and embroidered by hand in India with Lingerie Roses.
• Velvet slippers: soft silk velvet house slippers embroidered by hand in India with roses, made to pair with the house silk sleeping masks.
• Worn with: the house shows its pumps under long velvet and taffeta dresses, so only the pointed toe shows. A red embroidered pump under a black dress is the Bernadette way to add colour at the foot.

About Bernadette

Bernadette trades as Bernadette Antwerp and is the Antwerp label founded in 2018 by Charlotte de Geyter with her mother, Bernadette de Geyter. Charlotte trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and is the creative director. She draws the house prints by hand, and the botanicals that come out of that, Lingerie Roses, hydrangea, delphinium, cherries and blackberries, are what the label is recognised for, usually in saturated colour. The collections run across ready-to-wear, accessories and homeware, and the accessories are made where the craft sits: embroidery in India, silk printing in Italy, shoes in Italy, knitting in China. A print belongs to the collection it was drawn for, so a colourway that sells through is rarely repeated. Bernadette is a Coveti editor favourite for wedding-guest dressing, festive-season parties and women who are tired of wearing black.

“The Bernadette Bowtie Lacquered High Heel Pump in Black in Black is the pair I point a client to when she wants the house prints at the foot as well as on the dress. The shapes stay simple so the colour and the hand embroidery are what you notice.”
