Bohemian Chic and Sculptured Fabrics

One of the other popular looks coming out of the Bohemian style this spring and summer is the sculptured look – where fabrics and materials are designed to fold and sit in a way that offers a luxurious an interesting visual style.

Chinese Laundry Sudoku – One of the most innovative designs that has taken this look to the next level is the Chinese Laundry Sudoku. This shoe is really different with a dramatic fabric wrap around heel and elegant ribbon detailing. This is like a fabulous shoetie for summer!

The super comfortable faux suede footbed and simplistic thong crate a comfortable, elegant and truly interesting sandal that can work with an upscale ensemble or simply act as a perfect accessory on your boho chic outfit.

El Naturalista Ambar – Along these same lines, but with a bit more structure, is the El Naturalista Ambar. Made with eco-friendly leathers, this innovative wedge has a dramatic ankle tie that keeps this funky boho pump in place. Additionally, El Naturalista uses 100% natural rubber on their outsoles which is durable, flexible and reduces impact on the ankles, knees and hips.

Lined with removable insoles, the textured leather offers a really different, earthy look while the clean lines and contrast stitching maintain the high end elegance you want in a shoe of this quality. The green is considered a new neutral and will work with all of your earth tones!

Blowfish Segment Canvas – If you’re looking for a sandal alternate, consider a sculptured ballet flat. Blowfish is a master at the architectural use of material. The Blowfish Segment Canvas has a really unique look; the fabric is slightly distressed and works beautifully with the BoHo look and the unique folded look, accented with button ornaments makes these shoes a distinctive take on the popular shape.

These flats are also neutral enough to work with a wide variety of looks, so don’t feel constrained. Blowfish shoes are also made with great materials and are designed to be durable and comfortable while giving you that fashionable edge you crave.

Nicole Thrill – Our last sculptural shoe uses less material but dramatic shapes and textures to create a fabulous and sophisticated Bohemian sandal. While our other examples use draping, folding and tying, these flip flop inspired sandals use the thickness and opulence of the t strap leather to offer a great look.

The Nicole Thrill lives up to its name in a gorgeous gold full grain leather upper and unique detailing including a metallic anchor and striking, adjustable buckle. The casual thong sandal will work with almost any outfit you can put together and you’ll be rocking several trends at once – metallic, gladiator inspired and t strap while looking exceptional and innovative.
