Premium Leather Construction & Craftsmanship
The Open Edit Rachel sandal begins with carefully selected full-grain leather sourced from Italian tanneries known for their sustainable practices. Our artisans hand-cut each strap to ensure consistent grain pattern and optimal flexibility.
The vegetable-tanned leather develops a beautiful patina with wear, becoming more supple and personalized to your foot shape over time. Reinforced stitching at stress points ensures durability, while the antiqued brass hardware resists tarnishing and complements the leather’s natural aging process.
Comfort Technology & Sizing
The Rachel features our proprietary comfort system designed for extended wear without fatigue. The memory foam footbed contours to your arch and heel, providing personalized support that improves with each wear.
Sizing runs true to standard US women’s measurements, with the adjustable ankle strap accommodating both narrow and wide foot shapes. The leather upper stretches naturally to conform to your foot width, eliminating pressure points common with synthetic materials.
Care Instructions & Maintenance
Proper care ensures your open edit rachel sandal maintains its premium appearance and extends its lifespan significantly. Clean leather straps with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive water exposure.
Apply the included leather conditioner monthly during regular wear seasons, or every three months for occasional use. Store in the provided dust bag away from direct sunlight to prevent cracking and color fading.
