The Row Heels: Pumps, Kitten Heels and the d’Orsay, Compared
The Row heels follow one rule: a long, pointed line, a slim heel and nothing on the shoe that does not need to be there. The Winter 2026 delivery at The Row at Coveti brings three new shapes in soft lambskin, made in Italy on calfskin leather soles: the Rita Pump, the Liisa Kitten Three Heel and the Delfine d’Orsay. Here is how to choose between them.
Key facts
- New heels at Coveti: Rita Pump (black, sand), Liisa Kitten Three Heel (black, lacquer brown), Delfine d’Orsay Pump
- Heel heights: Rita and Delfine 3.35 in (8.5 cm); Liisa 1.38 in (3.5 cm)
- Leather: lambskin, lambskin lining, calfskin leather sole
- Sizing: Italian (EU), whole sizes 35 to 42 at Coveti; Liisa runs large
- Made in: Italy
The short answer
For an all-day heel, the Liisa. For a classic pump, the Rita. For evening, the Delfine, with its open sides.
The Row heels at Coveti
1. Rita Pump in Black
High heel shoe in soft lambskin leather with elongated pointed toe, curved heel, and leather sole. 100% Lambskin Leather, made in Italy. 3.35 in (8.5 cm) heel. A pointed pump in glossy black lambskin. The one to wear with tailoring.
2. Rita Pump in Sand
High heel shoe in soft lambskin leather with elongated pointed toe, curved heel, and leather sole. 100% Lambskin Leather, made in Italy. 3.35 in (8.5 cm) heel. The same pump in sand, close to a nude on most skin tones, so it lengthens the leg.
3. Liisa Kitten Three Heel in Black
Classic kitten heel in soft lambskin leather with pointed toe and leather sole. 100% Lambskin Leather, made in Italy. 1.38 in (3.5 cm) heel. A low kitten heel and a long pointed toe. The Row advises one size down in this style.
4. Liisa Kitten Three Heel in Lacquer Brown
Classic kitten heel in soft lambskin leather with pointed toe and leather sole. 100% Lambskin Leather, made in Italy. 1.38 in (3.5 cm) heel. The Liisa in a deep lacquer brown, warmer than black with navy and camel.
5. Delfine d’Orsay Pump
High heel shoe in soft lambskin leather with elongated pointed toe, open sides, and leather sole. 100% Lambskin Leather, made in Italy. 3.35 in (8.5 cm) heel. A d’Orsay cut, open at the sides, on the same 8.5 cm heel as the Rita.
How do The Row heels fit?
The Row sizes its shoes in Italian (EU) sizing, and Coveti lists whole sizes 35 to 42. Take your usual Italian size for the Rita and the Delfine. The house recommends one size down in the Liisa Kitten Three Heel. As a guide, a 38 EU is about a UK 5 and a US 8; the full table is in our The Row size guide. Already at Coveti, the Pia d’Orsay Pump and the Pia Pump offer a squarer toe on a block heel.
How to wear them
A pointed heel under a wide trouser makes the leg look longer; let the hem cover most of the shoe. With the Kloe Pant, which is ankle length, show the whole shoe. With the Aura Dress, choose the Delfine. For flat alternatives read The Row loafers guide, and for the full range read The Row shoes guide. Shop all designer heels at Coveti.
