When it comes to the ultimate summer shoes, it’s hard to beat a pair of wedge espadrilles.
Effortlessly chic yet comfortable enough for all-day wear, they instantly elevate any outfit without sacrificing practicality.
While Catherine, Princess of Wales, is known for her love of Castañer styles, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh has remained loyal to Penelope Chilvers.
So loyal, in fact, that she has three versions of the brand’s espadrilles on rotation and has worn her favourite pair more than 40 times since 2019 – most recently during her visit to Kenya in February.
But during her latest appearance in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, Sophie debuted a fresh new pair – and they’re available to shop now.
She chose the brand’s signature Mary Jane espadrilles in sand suede, a soft neutral that works effortlessly with everything from floaty summer dresses to tailored separates.
Staying true to traditional craftsmanship, the design features a hand-stitched jute sole, Indian toe-cap detailing and a delicate ankle strap.
The wedge height strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, making them ideal for everything from daytime engagements to summer events that stretch into the evening.
Designed to stand the test of time, Penelope Chilvers footwear is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and quality.
As someone who already owns the brand’s coveted cowboy boots and Mary Jane flats, it’s a reputation I can personally vouch for.
I struggle with traditional heels, so these gorgeous espadrilles have shot straight to the top of my wish list.
At £149, they’re a timeless investment you’ll reach for year after year – and they’re also available in sky blue, pink and floral.
