Description
A study in restraint and refined femininity, the Aeyde Catrina slingback elevates the classic pointed-toe pump with architectural elegance.
Inspired by the iconic Mexican song “La Catrina” and the Día de los Muertos imagery of the elegantly dressed skeleton figure, the Catrina is one of Aeyde’s signature silhouettes, embodying the Berlin-based label’s minimalist yet sculptural design philosophy. The shoe features the brand’s signature elongated pointed toe, which creates a sleek, leg-lengthening profile, while the gracefully curved vamp adds an element of understated drama. Hand-finished in Italy from supple nappa leather, the Catrina is a masterclass in proportion and poise.
The defining element of the Catrina is its asymmetric slingback strap, which dips low at the heel in a gentle U-shape, secured by a delicate elasticated band for a secure yet barely-there fit. The stiletto heel, measuring approximately 85mm, is precisely calibrated for both elegance and walkability, allowing the silhouette to maintain its sharp, sculptural lines without compromising on comfort. A leather sole and a softly padded insole reflect Aeyde’s commitment to craftsmanship, ensuring the pump feels as considered from within as it appears from without.

The leather sole and lined interior ensure breathability and longevity, hallmarks of fine Italian shoemaking that elevate this piece beyond seasonal footwear.
Styling
The Catrina slingback is the quintessential companion to cropped tailored trousers and a silk blouse for modern office polish, its clean lines harmonizing beautifully with minimalist separates. For evening, pair with a bias-cut slip dress or sharp monochromatic suiting to let the sculptural pointed toe and curved heel strap take center stage. The timeless silhouette also lends itself beautifully to a contemporary bridal look when styled with a sleek satin gown.
Brand Heritage
Aeyde was founded in 2018 in Berlin by designer Lucie Delavoux-Joosting, who launched the label with a single, uncompromising goal: to create the perfect ankle boot. Since then, the brand has expanded into a coveted footwear and accessories line celebrated for its architectural minimalism, gender-fluid sensibility, and dedication to Italian craftsmanship. Aeyde has become a favorite among tastemakers and stylists worldwide, recognized for its restrained luxury aesthetic that prioritizes quality, proportion, and timeless design over fleeting trends.
