Beaded Lace-Up Gladiator Sandals

Beaded Lace-Up Gladiator Sandals

This one steps outside the classic thong shape entirely. A curved beaded loop rises from the toe post and wraps back toward the ankle, dense with rows of red, blue, green, orange, and yellow beads bordered in gold, with a matching beaded strip running down the center of the strap. Dark woven cord laces cross up and tie at the ankle, giving you a secure, adjustable fit rather than a slip-on — closer to a gladiator sandal than a flip-flop.

It's a more involved build than most pieces in the collection, and it shows: the beadwork alone takes an artisan a full day of steady, focused stringing to complete one strap. Pair it with a summer dress or over cropped pants for an outfit that carries real handmade weight.

Sizes: US Girls 10–13, Youth 1–3, Women's 5–11
