Form and function. This handcrafted, two-strap flat sandal fulfills Bernardo’s foundational promise to artfully “free the foot” via leather straps with signature stitching and sculptural buckles.
The Bernardo1946 capsule collection takes inspiration from their archives, reflecting their founder Bernard Rudofsky’s dedication to timeless design, premium materials, artisan handcrafted quality, and uncompromising comfort.
Details:
Bernardo originally debuted in April 1946 as a sandal collection founded by world-famous architect, philosopher, and designer Bernard Rudofsky, whose disciplines spanned architecture, photography, fashion, art, and design. His creations immediately garnered praise from the era’s leading fashion publications — such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, the latter of which credited Rudofsky with inventing the “modern sandal.” They were seen on the feet of its celebrities, ranging from Jane Birkin to Jackie Kennedy.
Over 75 years later, Bernardo designs propose essential yet expressive shoes that carry its wearers around the globe, promoting exploration and experimentation.
All Bernardo 1946 shoes are handcrafted in Brazil at a family-run factory. Whenever possible they use locally sourced and recycled materials.
