Dries Van Noten Satin thong sandals

The Dries Van Noten Satin thong sandals shows the brand working in a familiar register: clean lines, considered materials, nothing overstated.

Upper: 57% Cotton, 43% Acrylic, in purple, UK 2 — the kind of detail that's easy to miss until you're holding it.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
