The Find: Fendi does hardware like no one else, and this pair proves it. Coral and purple colorblock suede wedge sandals connected by oversized gold chain links running the full length of the T-strap. The dark wood-grain wedge, the two-tone suede, the weight and scale of that chain hardware. These are the kind of shoes that make people ask where you got them, and you never have to answer twice. No longer in production. One of Fendi's most distinctive footwear moments from this era.
