The Livia
The story
The Livia has a softly ruched shaft that gathers just above the ankle, in smooth, glossy genuine leather with a square toe, on a mid-height block heel that flares gently towards the base. It's polished enough for a dress and relaxed enough for jeans. A rear zip with a loop pull makes it easy to get on and off.

How to wear it
Worn three ways
With a pleated midi skirt
The brown pair with a dark pleated midi skirt, sheer tights and a soft camel jumper is an easy autumn outfit for lunch or the office.
Celeste Pleated Lapel Belted Maxi Dress, £45With turned-up jeans
Turn up straight jeans once so the ruching shows, and add a stone trench for a smart weekend look in black.
Arden Double-Breasted Trench Coat, £67With a cable knit
The taupe pair with light jeans and a cream knit is soft, tonal and good for a country walk that ends at the pub.
Ashford Roll-Neck Jumper, £109
Care
The care card
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to keep the glossy finish clean.
- If they get wet, let them dry naturally, away from radiators and direct heat.
- Stuff the shaft lightly with paper when you store them, so the ruching keeps its shape.
- Store them upright, out of direct sunlight.

Questions
Before you order
What size should I order?
Your usual UK size. The Livia fits true to size and comes in UK 3 to 8, including half sizes, in one standard width. If you're between sizes, measure your foot and check it against the size chart: tap Size guide beside the sizes.
How high is the heel?
About 7 cm. That's our estimate from the photos, and we'll replace it with the measured figure when we have it.
What is the upper made of?
The upper is genuine leather with a smooth, glossy finish.
Are they comfortable enough for a full day?
Comfort is personal, so we'd rather not over-promise. The Livia has a broad, flared block heel rather than a slim one, and a rear zip. Try them on at home: if they're not right, you can request a return within 30 days of receiving your order, and there's no restocking fee.
When will they arrive?
UK delivery is free and tracked on all orders. We process orders within 24 hours of you placing them, and delivery usually takes 5–7 business days after dispatch.
How do returns work?
Request a return within 30 days of receiving your order, then send the boots back within 14 days of telling us. They should be unworn, in their original condition and packaging. Return postage is your responsibility unless the item is faulty, damaged or incorrect. There's no restocking fee, and approved refunds are processed within 7 days.
