The Camilla Black Patent Leather
The Camilla gives everyday outfits a confident finish. Glossy black patent leather and a clean silhouette make it striking with skirts, dresses, tailored trousers or denim. A sturdy block heel adds lift with a stable feel underfoot, so you can wear it from meetings to dinner without changing shoes. Polished but practical, The Camilla brings structure and character to your wardrobe and makes simple looks feel considered.
Like all Blankens shoes, The Camilla is crafted by hand in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal. We use European leather sourced from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries, ensuring exceptional handmade quality, responsible sourcing, and a lower environmental impact. Every pair is produced with care for longevity — in both materials and construction.
At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing shoes for our own lives. We wear and test every style ourselves, carefully working through fit, function, and feeling. Each shoe must earn its place in the wardrobe by being useful, well-built, and easy to rely on. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.
The Camilla is a women’s leather ankle boot with a clean, structured silhouette and a mid-height block heel. Crafted in smooth leather, it features a streamlined shaft designed to work seamlessly with skirts, dresses, and trousers. The stable heel is set for balance and everyday wear, while the durable sole provides grip and support. A versatile leather boot designed for long days, varied settings, and effortless styling.
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.
