With these styles from its Permanent Collection and new pre-Fall 2015 range, it’s official: Louis Vuitton is your go-to for ultra-luxe work shoes. For starters, there are the 24- hour pumps and sandals from the Permanent Collection – the supersleek pointy-toe Eyeline Pumps in patent calfskin (available with heels 8cm or 10.5cm high) and the modern Symphony Sandals.

The latter are a shout-out to the brand’s name – they’re decorated with V-shaped metal details (the V is a new icon for LV, thanks to creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere). You can even do a matching look with the brand’s Essential V jewellery – rings, earrings and more, bearing the same futuristic motifs. Then, if you want something a little more statement (but still grownup enough for work), you can go for the boots from the brand’s pre-Fall 2015 collection: the Instinct Half Boots and the Charlotte Collection Flat Ankle Boots.

The former are already a fave with style celebs like Chloe Sevigny and Miranda Kerr. Originally a star style from the Spring/Summer 2015 collection, the boots have chunky heels whose cross-section forms the shape of a Monogram flower. Th e latest ones come in Monogram Canvas and silk. And what’ll give your LBD a dash of attitude: the pointy-toe Charlotte Collection boots. Choose from materials like Monogram Canvas, black leather and croco skin. Th e croco pair even comes with a complimentary service that lets you get your initials stamped inside the boots.
