Description
A bohemian icon reimagined in supple leather, the Saint Laurent Tribute flat sandal captures effortless Parisian cool with its signature interwoven crossover straps and low stacked heel.
The Tribute sandal is one of the most enduring icons in the Saint Laurent footwear archive, first introduced in the early 2000s under the creative direction of Stefano Pilati and later revived and modernized by Anthony Vaccarello. Inspired by 1970s bohemian glamour and the carefree spirit of Saint Laurent’s own Rive Gauche muse, the Tribute is instantly recognizable by its intricate interlacing of narrow leather straps that cross the vamp in a sculptural lattice, evoking the look of gladiator sandals while remaining distinctly modern.
Crafted in supple lambskin leather with a buttery hand, this flat iteration sits on a low stacked heel that offers just enough lift to elongate the leg without sacrificing the easy, walkable appeal of the design. The minimalist silhouette is deliberately understated, allowing the impeccable leatherwork and the iconic Saint Laurent Paris embossed at the inner sole to speak for themselves. Whether styled with cropped denim in the city or a flowing midi dress on holiday, the Tribute flat has become a quiet signature for the contemporary woman who values heritage and ease in equal measure.

Saint Laurent selects supple Italian lambskin for the Tribute sandal, prized for its exceptionally soft drape and natural sheen that develops a beautiful patina with wear. The leather sole and lining ensure a refined, glove-like fit that molds to the foot over time, while the tonal hardware keeps the silhouette clean and unmistakably Saint Laurent.
Styling
Pair these flat Tributes with straight-leg, ankle-skimming jeans and a crisp white shirt for a quintessentially Parisian daytime look, or style them with a flowing silk midi dress and a woven leather tote for sun-drenched terrace lunches. Their low profile also makes them a refined alternative to heels when worn with tailored Bermuda shorts or a relaxed linen suit.
Brand Heritage
Founded in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in Paris, the Maison revolutionized modern fashion by introducing the first tuxedo suit for women, the safari jacket, and the iconic Mondrian dress. Today, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent continues its legacy of Parisian sophistication and effortless sensuality, with each piece crafted in Italy to the highest standards of luxury leatherwork.
