Prada's black 105 woven-raffia wedges | Buy Now

We love this pair for two more reasons – one, they are wedges and second, they are black. And from ‘two more’ we mean we absolutely love them because Prada can do no wrong when it comes to footwear. The adjustable ankle strap with a side buckle fastening brings out the aesthetic of the otherwise plain wedges, moreover, it’s made of polished raffia – not only it looks lustrous but holds durability. Team it with Prada’s wicker clutch from the same collection and this combo will make even a simple white shirt-dress look well put.
