THE VALERIA

Designed for everyday movement between indoors and out, The Valeria combines slipper-level comfort with a distinctive, ruched shape that gives even the simplest outfit a point of interest. An easy way to make relaxed looks feel intentional — from morning coffee to whatever comes next. The elasticated back gently hugs the heel, creating a secure, comfortable fit that adapts to the foot and stays in place throughout the day. Comfort-led, but never sloppy, The Valeria makes everyday life feel a little more considered.

Crafted in incredibly soft leather, The Valeria is built around a ruched moccasin construction that allows the shoe to flex and move naturally with the foot. The leather gently molds over time, creating a personal fit that gets better with wear. Inside, smooth leather lining keeps the feel breathable and comfortable throughout the day. A durable sole makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, reinforcing its role as an all-day, everywhere shoe.

Designed by Blankens in Stockholm and produced in Portugal, The Valeria is crafted using responsibly sourced leather from European tanneries, certified by the Leather Working Group. Each pair is made in a small, family-run factory with long experience in traditional shoemaking. The focus is on balance, durability, and comfort — creating a shoe that holds its shape, wears beautifully over time, and feels supportive throughout long days.

At Blankens, many of us were looking for something that felt almost like a slipper, yet looked right beyond the front door. The Valeria grew out of that want — a shoe that could follow us through long days, changing settings, and shifting moods. It’s loved for doing double duty: calm and grounding when you want ease, but still sharp enough to feel dressed. A quiet favorite among women who value feeling good over making noise.

The look is relaxed and tactile, defined by its rounded square toe and softly gathered leather that frames the foot. The ruched edges create texture and a slightly organic shape, giving the shoe a lived-in elegance rather than polished stiffness. Low, understated, and effortlessly wearable, The Valeria sits somewhere between a classic moccasin and a modern loafer — easy, warm, and intentionally understated.
