What is probably the cutest shoe of the collection, this fluffy yellow piece is modelled after a chick. We are predicting that this will sell out first.

A cockerel provides inspiration for the penultimate design – a white slip-on with tassels mimicking the cockerel’s comb (that red spiky growth atop the bird’s head).

Exclusively available only at the brand’s Ion Orchard boutique, it will go on sale on Wednesday, Dec 28 – so mark your calendars.
