The kilim used for CHAVA is vintage and hand-sourced, so its color and geometry come from a much older textile — no factory pattern repeats it, and no other pair will match yours. Hand-woven and durable, it's finished with a leather insole, rubber heel, and soft lining that make it comfortable to wear sockless. Its profile takes after womenswear and classic formal shapes, cut a little higher and wider, snug when new and stretching in over time to a custom fit best suited to medium-to-wide feet. It's a shoe equally happy at a holiday gathering and in the everyday rotation.
