The Whistles x ESSEN collection is born out of a shared ethos — one that focuses on timeless, enduring styles for the modern wardrobe. The Foundation Flat, reworked in a bespoke, plum crinkle patent leather, epitomises this. They’re meticulously handcrafted in Italy using luxurious patent leather that naturally adapts to your foot shape, making them perfect for the office or busy city days. Featuring a square-round toe, subtle stitch detailing and a high curve for a flattering silhouette, they’re a refined, sophisticated foundation for your forever wardrobe.
