Gorgeous!!!
And yes the black looks so classic!Can't wait to see the blue and purple ones! Keeping my fingers crossed for you that they come in sooner rather than later.
My SA asked if I would be interested in exotic SO shoes. I would love to order a pair of Premier sandals in ombre lizard, but I have never seen/tried Premier sandals at a boutique. For those who own them or have tried them, how do they fit? I know everyone’s experience will be different but would love to hear anyway. I wear 7.5/37.5 including Orans. My concern with Premier sandals is the ankle strap. I usually get blisters where the strap hits on the back of my leg. I also am thinking about ombré lizard Chypre but not 100% sure if exotic and Chypre go together. Appreciate this community’s feedback. Thank you!
@Kuma_Lisa I’ve seen exotic Himalayan Croc Chypre sandals on display, but I haven’t seen lizard in the chypre model… yet

I don’t find Himalayan Birkin beautiful (perhaps an unpopular opinion) but I actually like the leather in shoes! I saw this today on IG.
Editing to add: Himalaya is one of the exotic leather choices in this SO event!

Unfortunately lizard is only available on Premier, Oran and Oasis. For Chypre you can only order them in crocodile.
Oh dang! Thank you for this info! I love ombré lizard, so I might go for Oasis. I just don’t know how Premier might fit. Orans fit great and comfortable for me so I think Oasis is a safe choice.
Is lizard (or exotic in general) generally soft and comfortable in shoes?
Depending on how they cut the hide you can get a wildly different look based on the proportion of white and grey on the footwear. When it’s 80% of one colour it gives a much more subtle effect than when it’s closer to 1:1.
I wonder if you prefer hima in footwear since it’s easier to have a more muted effect than on a bag.
I can see that. I do prefer a subtle effect. I would imagine you cannot specify that detail in your order? Anyway, I am trying not to fall in love or be madly obsessed with exotics because everything will become wayyyy more expensive! Lol. I do feel I am losing the battle… Exotics are gorgeous!!
Does anyone know if there is a price list for creating your own shoes based on material and style?
Exotics are usually soft and I find Ostrich to be the softest out of all exotics.
It should be close to the price of Izmir which is around 2,800€.Does anyone have a price for Ombre Lizard Oran sandals?
Premier around 4,000€.
