Kartell x .normaluisa: Lady Cinderella Platform Sandal by Karen Day
The second model to mix Kartell's plastic design expertise with Italian label .normaluisa's fashion sense, the Lady platform sandal is another injection-molded knockout. Keeping to the bright color scheme of the Glue model, the Lady steps it up a notch with a 3.5-inch plastic wedge heel.
While Kartell's two-tone shading—a nature-inspired bi-injection process applied only to footwear thus far— and touches like a star-shaped logo imprint in the sole make for a design-conscious shoe, touches like a thin heel and low cut keeps the look sophisticated and feminine.
Made of 100% recyclable plastic, the Lady platforms, along the original ballerina styles in some great new colorways, will be available from .normaluisa and Kartell stores soon.
