The Curved Line Babouche Shoes by Mame Kurogouchi reinterpret the elegance of traditional Ryukyu lacquerware through a luminous jacquard woven with birds and blossoms. The iridescent fabric shimmers like Japanese turban shells (yakōgai), while a sculptural curved cut and 2.5 cm heel balance grace with wearability. Finished with a soft resin coating for durability, the soft heel can also be folded down—an adaptable piece of understated refinement and form.
