The Vita Black Suede with Rhinestones
The Vita brings a little sparkle to occasions when comfort matters too. Black suede and rhinestone detailing add character to an elegant shape, while the low, stable heel feels easy from the first toast to the last dance. Wear it with a favourite dress for a celebration or denim and a blazer for dinner. Dressed up without being overdone, The Vita is a versatile choice for the moments when you want your shoes to feel special.
Designed by Blankens in Stockholm and crafted in Portugal, The Vita is made using responsibly sourced leather from European tanneries rated by the Leather Working Group. Each pair is produced in a small, family-run factory with deep knowledge of traditional shoemaking. The focus is on balance and longevity — creating a shoe that feels just as good to wear as it looks, season after season.
Team Blankens created The Vita from our own wardrobes and real needs. As women designing for women, we wanted a party shoe that didn’t ask for compromise — one that could handle standing, walking, mingling, and living in. The Vita is loved for its reliability and versatility: feminine without being fragile, festive without being precious. A favourite when you want ease, confidence, and a touch of sparkle.
The sandal is crafted in black suede with a soft, velvety finish that adds depth and elegance. Decorative straps are finished with carefully placed rhinestones that catch the light without overpowering the design. Lined in smooth leather for comfort and breathability. Set on a low, stable heel with a leather sole, offering balance, support, and an elegant profile designed for long evenings and everyday wear alike.
