​Rewriting a Classic: The New Thierry Rabotin Grayson

Aug 6th 2019

A wardrobe mainstay updated for the Fall 2019 collection.

Headlining the Fall 2019 collection at Thierry Rabotin is the Grayson, a ballet flat coveted for its grace and luxurious minimalism. The brand preserves its ethos of traditional refinement, elegance, and exceptional comfort by updating the multi-occasion icon with a refresh inspired by the season’s autumnal tones and material stories. Exclusive to the Hanig’s Footwear shoe collection, the Grayson in burgundy exudes the sophistication, all-day wearability, and class you’ve come to know and love from the Italian brand.

Priced at $425 and handcrafted by footwear artisans in-house, this all-new burgundy iteration of the Grayson flat carries a supple suede upper contrasted by a patent leather cap-toe for a timeless juxtaposition of textures. While a bow at the front plays up the feminine aesthetic, grosgrain throat trim and nubuck inner lining provide a comforting finish. Its signature bright footbed supports the arch with lightweight cushioning to keep you on your feet. A minimal use of seams achieved via the sacchetto technique, which is the jewel of the company’s crown, confers a unique softness to the shoe, yet does not deprive it of its structure. Thierry Rabotin’s meticulous attention to design shines through underfoot, as well. The rubber outsole is constructed with a shock-absorbent property that evenly distributes impact. Shallow grooves supply flexibility, creating a platform that follows the foot’s intuition through the gait cycle for a more natural step. A pancake heel sits below it all for just enough height and additional support.

We love Thierry Rabotin’s Grayson shoe for its versatility, making it a viable option to take you from your desk to drinks after dark. As your office assistant, pair it with slim-fit dress pants and a silkened button-down shirt. Accessorize with a belt in mock reptile skin, your favorite everyday jewelry, and a trapezoidal handbag for finishing touches. A pleated surplice dress on standby gets you ready for a romantic night out on the town right afterwards. Our style experts also recommend it for special occasions. Pair it with an A-line skirt and ruffled top, or use it as a transition shoe to maintain your stylish look while seeking relief from a set of pumps. Perfect for vacationing, too, the Grayson flat makes the ultimate travel companion. Pack your luggage with garments in the season’s on-trend fabrications such as flared denim, a velvet blouse, a tweed skirt, and outdoorsy fleece for a rotation that teeters on a 70s redux.
