Lia Leather Sandals

One of Brazil's most esteemed luxury footwear designers, CFDA member Alexandre Birman takes a sophisticated approach to his shoes.

The Lia Flat Mousse commands attention through its sculptural metalwork. A brushed gold-toned metal band traverses the instep, reinterpreting the classic T-strap as a contemporary architectural statement. Composed of interlocking segments, this structural element flows seamlessly from vamp to upper, balancing strength with fluidity. The result is a design of striking visual presence—part jewelry, part engineering—that elevates the everyday flat into an object of refined sophistication.
