From Sketch To Sandal

At Bay of Angels, every sandal starts with a story. Maybe it's the way the light hits the sea in Capri, the shape of a doorway in Rome, or the kind of California morning that makes you want to take the long way to coffee. Whatever sparks it, the idea gets sketched—quick lines, bold shapes, and details that just feel right.

We keep it simple: pencil, paper, and a vision for where these sandals are going (spoiler: everywhere). From braided leather straps to sculptural footbeds, every design decision is made with intention—and a little bit of attitude.

Once we’ve got the look down, it’s time to bring it to life. Our handmade Italian leather sandals are crafted in small batches by artisans who’ve been doing this for generations. It’s slow fashion the way it should be: intentional, thoughtful, and made to last. This is artisan leather footwear, minus the fuss.

We use only the good stuff: buttery nappa leathers, natural vegetable-tanned hides, and metallic detailing that hits just right. Whether you're into braided leather sandals for women or want something sleek and low-key, like our black nappa leather sandals, each pair is designed to move with you...and turn a few heads along the way.

Our vibe? Italian chic meets bohemian ease. These aren’t just sandals. They’re the ones you’ll wear on repeat, whether you're packing light for Positano or styling them with a vintage tee and your favorite jeans. They go everywhere. Effortlessly.

Our small batch sandals for women are released slowly and intentionally, with pieces that actually mean something. You won’t find throwaway fashion here, just well-made sandals you’ll want in every color.

So next time you slip on a pair of our handcrafted sandals from Italy, know they didn’t just show up. They started as a sketch, traveled through a centuries-old atelier, and ended up wherever you're headed next.
