HERALD HIGH DERBY

Posted on 2010-01-18

The Louis Vuitton Herald High Derby is one of our favorite silhouettes in their Summer 2010 Collection. The desert boot by the French luxury brand is made of suede calf leather and features a natural leather strip on the back and tag on the tongue. The desert boot is nothing new and we still love the original by Clarks, but Louis Vuitton definitely takes it to the next level with these. The quality, soft choice of colors and details are perfect on these, making sure that they keep their subtle looks, yet adding a real premium touch to it.
