The Felicia Brown Suede

The Felicia brings a sharp finish to everyday dressing. Rich brown suede, a long square toe and contrast stitching give this slingback a modern edge, while a silver-toned link detail adds character. The adjustable strap and slim heel make it easy to wear from work to dinner. Pair it with tailored trousers, straight-leg denim or a dress when you want a polished look without feeling overdressed. Distinctive and easy to style.

Designed by Blankens in Stockholm and handcrafted in Portugal, The Felicia combines a soft suede upper with a smooth leather lining. The materials are sourced from European tanneries, including Leather Working Group Gold Rated partners, and each pair is made in a small, family-run workshop where precise stitching and finishing are central to the construction. The result is a refined shoe designed to be worn often, not saved for one kind of occasion.

Blankens is a women-run footwear brand founded in Stockholm. We create shoes from the perspective of women who actually wear them, balancing comfort, character and craftsmanship in styles that work across real wardrobes and real days. The Felicia reflects that approach: distinctive in detail, easy to style and comfortable enough to keep on.

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.

Brush gently with a clean suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust. Treat marks with a suede eraser or specialist cleaner, testing first on a discreet area. Avoid heavy rain and allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat.

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.

How to use these measurements
Insole length is measured from heel to toe. Leave a little room at the front: boots may feel more comfortable with a little extra space, while loafers usually fit best with less. Pointed styles extend beyond where the toes sit, so the pointed tip does not provide extra room for the toes. If you are between sizes, a thin insole can help create a half-size. For closed heels, a half insole can fine-tune the fit.
