Finding your size

Our souliers follow French sizing. The surest guide is the length of your foot, measured in the evening, when feet are at their fullest.

HOW TO MEASURE

Place a sheet of paper on the floor, against a wall or a book.
Stand on it, heel touching the wall or the book, weight on both feet.
Mark the tip of your longest toe, then measure from the edge of the paper to the mark. Measure both feet and keep the longer one.

If you are between two sizes, size down: silk softens and shapes itself to the foot.
If you have wide feet, let us know at checkout and we will adjust your pair.

Made to order - Shipped within 1 month - Simplified exchanges & returns

The Chausson Dulion takes its shape from the soft, flat evening slippers worn for balls, dinners and formal occasions in the mid 19th century.

Unlike the heeled shoe, these slippers were built with an exceptionally light and supple construction, sitting close to the foot and often finished in silk, with ribbons, rosettes or delicate ornamentation. Their almost weightless appearance was part of their elegance: a shoe designed less around structure than around movement.

Our version preserves that distinctive silhouette — the low vamp, elongated line, silk upper and ribbon ties — while reworking it as a shoe to be worn today.

Made in Tuscany from French silk and finished with our signature rosette in Paris.

Anatomy of the souliers

Each pair is a collaboration between two important regions. The design begins in Paris, at the Bourgine atelier near the Luxembourg Gardens, where a team of women sews each rosette. The shoes are then assembled in a small family-run workshop in Tuscany, resting on the shoulders of generations of shoemaking. Each pair is cut and made to order, passing through only a few skilled hands, using the highest-quality components.

The silk itself comes from Veraseta in Charlieu, France, a maison that has been weaving silk in the Loire since the early 20th century and works with the most prestigious French institutions: Le Ritz, the Élysée Palace, the Château de Fontainebleau... We treat the silk to repel water so your Souliers can handle a mild rain.
