The Mette Brown Eco Leather with Pearls
The Mette brings a little something extra to the everyday sandal. Crafted in soft brown leather, its simple cross-strap design is finished with pearl studs in silver settings for a playful, considered look. Wear it with linen trousers, denim, or a summer dress when you want to make an outfit feel finished without too much effort. Easy to slip on and go, with no buckles to adjust, it combines comfort and character for warm days.
The pearls give this version of The Mette a warmth and personality that works across a surprising range of looks. The crossed straps and open silhouette keep it relaxed and walkable, while the pearl detail lifts it easily into evening, party, or wedding territory — without a heel in sight.
Crafted in soft, eco-certified leather with a genuine natural rubber sole, The Mette offers comfort from the very first step. Natural rubber provides exceptional flexibility and grip, adapting to the movement of the foot rather than working against it. Like all Blankens shoes, The Mette is made by hand in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal. The leather is European, Gold Rated Leather Working Group certified, and PFAS free — chosen for its softness, durability, and responsible sourcing.
At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing shoes for our own lives. We test every style ourselves — walking in them, traveling in them, and wearing them through real days and nights. Each shoe is designed to have a clear purpose, solve a real wardrobe need, and earn its place over time.
The Mette in Brown with Pearls is a women's flat leather slide sandal in warm brown pebbled leather with a cross-strap upper, open toe, and pearl studs in a silver setting. It features a cushioned leather-lined insole for comfort and a natural rubber sole for flexibility, grip, and durability. The combination of a relaxed silhouette and decorative pearl detail makes it suitable for everyday wear, summer evenings, parties, and weddings.
