Roger Vivier Flats: Ballerinas, Mary Janes and Loafers With the House Buckle

Roger Vivier flats are ballerinas, slingback ballerinas, Mary Janes and loafers that carry the house buckle on a low 2.5 cm heel, and Coveti stocks 19 pairs from the Autumn Winter 2026-2027 collection at USD 1,250 to 3,200. Shop them on the Roger Vivier brand page and in our designer flats edit, and see the higher styles in our guide to Roger Vivier heels.

What makes a Roger Vivier flat?

Most designer ballet flats are defined by the toe and the topline. Roger Vivier flats are defined by the buckle. The square Belle Vivier buckle became the house signature after Catherine Deneuve wore the pump in the 1967 film Belle de Jour, and the house now puts versions of it on almost everything it makes, from a velvet Mary Jane to a nappa loafer. Some flats use a covered buckle, wrapped in the same suede as the shoe. Others use lacquer, tortoiseshell-effect resin, metal and crystal.

The other constant is the heel. These are not true zero-heel slippers. Where the house lists a height, the Belle Vivier, Viv’ in the City and U Look flats and the Viv’ Rangers loafers all sit on 2.5 cm, a small lift rather than a true zero heel. Belle Vivier flats use the covered Skyscraper heel, a small block wrapped in the upper material.

Which Roger Vivier flats does Coveti stock?

Belle Vivier Ballerinas

The Belle Vivier Ballerinas in brown suede carry a tortoiseshell-effect resin buckle on a 2.5 cm covered Skyscraper heel, at USD 1,410. Brown suede with a tortoiseshell buckle is one of the most useful autumn combinations in the line, because it goes with camel, navy and grey.

Belle Vivier Slingback Ballerinas

The slingback version adds an adjustable heel strap and opens the back of the foot. Coveti carries five colourways at USD 1,520: burgundy suede, off white calfskin, black patent, a beige, pink and off white suede, and an orange, pink and green patent. The Belle Vivier Slingback Ballerinas in burgundy suede sit in the house’s “The shade of the season” group, and the black patent pair is the easiest to wear every day.

Belle Vivier Mary Janes

The most expensive flat in the edit is the Belle Vivier Mary Janes in black velvet at USD 3,200, with a mini crystal buckle and the 2.5 cm covered Skyscraper heel. Velvet makes it an evening flat, and it is the strongest choice for a black-tie event when you do not want a heel. Our guide to designer Mary Jane flats covers the shape across houses.

Efflorescence Mary Janes

The Efflorescence buckle is a cluster of crystal flowers with Rococo reminiscences. On the Efflorescence Mary Janes in burgundy nappa, at USD 1,850, it sits on a Mary Jane flat with a leather lining and leather sole.

Rose Vivier Ballerinas

The Rose Vivier motif, which the house says was born in 1965 and was dear to Monsieur Vivier, appears on the ballerina as sculpted rosebuds and twisted volutes with applied crystals. Black and grey satin pairs are USD 2,630, while the nude satin and burgundy suede pairs are USD 2,010. The Rose Vivier Ballerinas in nude satin and the grey satin pair are both tagged for bridal and ceremony wear.

Viv’ in the City Ballerinas

Viv’ in the City is the cleanest flat in the edit: a covered buckle, a 2.5 cm heel and a leather sole, at USD 1,360. It comes in burgundy and black ovine nappa and in beige suede. The Viv’ in the City Ballerinas in black nappa are the pair to buy if you want a Roger Vivier flat that does not announce itself.

U Look Ballerinas

U Look pairs the house buckle with a rubber outer sole, and the house says it is made for long days. The U Look Ballerinas in burgundy patent have a lacquered buckle and a 2.5 cm heel, and at USD 1,250 they are the entry point to Roger Vivier flats at Coveti.

Viv’ Rangers Loafers

Viv’ Rangers is the house’s take on city shoes, finished with a crystal buckle. The loafers sit on a 2.5 cm heel with a leather lining, insole and sole, at USD 2,150. Coveti carries burgundy and black ovine nappa and beige suede. The Viv’ Rangers Loafers in burgundy nappa suit tailoring and heavier knits. Find more loafers in designer loafers for women.

Roger Vivier flats compared

Which Roger Vivier flat should you buy first?

Start with how you will wear it. If the flat has to cover long days on pavement, the U Look Ballerinas are the practical choice, because the house pairs the buckle with a rubber sole it describes as made for long days. If you want one pair that works at the office and at dinner, the Viv’ in the City Ballerinas in black nappa are plain enough for both. If you want the house signature, choose a Belle Vivier: the brown suede ballerina for autumn, and a slingback ballerina if you prefer an open back.

For evening, the velvet Belle Vivier Mary Janes and the satin Rose Vivier Ballerinas are dressier than most heels. For tailoring and cold-weather layers, the Viv’ Rangers Loafers have more structure than a ballerina and sit better under a wide trouser. Our broader guide to designer ballet flats compares the shape across houses, and the full range sits in designer ballet flats.

How to wear Roger Vivier flats in autumn winter 2026/27

With tights

A ballerina with opaque black tights is the easiest way to keep wearing flats into winter. It works best with a strong colour on the shoe, so the burgundy Belle Vivier slingback and the burgundy U Look are good picks. Keep the tights matt so the buckle stays the focus.

With trousers

Cropped and ankle-length trousers show the buckle. Long, wide trousers hide most of a ballerina, so pick a loafer there. The Viv’ Rangers in beige suede work with grey flannel and camel coats.

With evening dress

Velvet and satin flats are a real option for evening events in the 2027 wedding season. The black velvet Belle Vivier Mary Janes go with a long black dress, and the nude satin Rose Vivier Ballerinas suit a pale dress. Our guide to black tie dresses has ideas for the rest of the look.

What about Roger Vivier sneakers and flat mules?

If you want a flat that is more casual than a ballerina, the house also makes Viv’ Run, Viv’ on the Run and Viv Low sneakers, along with flat mules such as the Viv Low Mules. They are covered in our guide to Roger Vivier sneakers.

How do Roger Vivier flats fit?

Roger Vivier uses the Italian scale, which is the same as EU sizing, and Coveti lists flats in whole EU sizes 35 to 42 with no half sizes. EU 36 is UK 3 and US 6, and EU 38 is UK 5 and US 8. The house publishes no runs-small statement for these styles, so most women take their usual EU size. A slingback ballerina has an adjustable strap, which helps between sizes. Read our Roger Vivier size guide before you order. Every pair is authenticated by Coveti and ships worldwide, insured.
