The Delphine Burgundy Leather
The Delphine is a soft, everyday ballerina with a Mary Jane strap — designed to bring structure, comfort, and quiet elegance to daily life. The square toe gives the foot room where it’s needed, while the adjustable strap keeps the shoe securely in place without pressure or slipping. Flat, flexible, and easy to walk in, it’s the kind of shoe that works from morning to evening, adding polish without asking for effort. A true wardrobe piece when you want something feminine, grounded, and wearable — all day.
Made in a family-run factory in Portugal, The Delphine is crafted from smooth, chrome-free leather that softens with wear while holding its shape beautifully. The leather lining allows the foot to breathe, and the slim, flexible sole supports natural movement. Produced in small quantities with long-term wear in mind — fewer shoes, better shoes.
Designed by women, for women — The Delphine comes from our own need for a flat that feels secure, comfortable, and still intentional. We wanted a ballerina that doesn’t feel delicate or impractical, but strong enough for everyday life. It’s the shoe we reach for when we want to feel put together without thinking twice — easy, confident, and quietly feminine.
The Delphine is a brown leather Mary Jane ballerina with a square toe, smooth leather upper, adjustable strap with gold-toned buckle, leather lining, and a low, flexible sole. A minimalist flat with a soft silhouette and classic proportions, designed for everyday wear.
Treat your shoes to make them last longer! Regular care keeps your shoes beautiful, soft, and strong. By cleaning, conditioning, and protecting the leather, you preserve its suppleness, prevent cracks, and maintain its natural shine. Think of it as skincare — for your most trusted companions. A small ritual that makes a big difference, keeping your Blankens favorites fresh and ready for every season.
We recommend using a protective spray, such as the Water Proofer, before first wear and reapply regularly to guard against moisture and stains.
Don't forget the inside. Refresh the insole by cleaning it with The Foam Cleaner.
We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place when not in use, with a shoe tree or paper stuffing to maintain shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat.
The inner sole length is measured from heel to toe. Add a bit of extra space for the feet. For shoes with a pointed toe, keep in mind that your foot will not extend all the way into the pointed end.
