Manolo Blahnik, the name alone fills our brains with images of a smiling Carrie Bradshaw and color wheels of fabulous stilettos. While some of us are well versed in the names that have made the Manolo brand an iconic footwear resource, some of us aren’t so familiar with the pinnacle house styles are have become the most shared, most shopped, most visible shoes around the world.

The BB
The most iconic of the bundle, the ‘BB’ is the perfected pointed toe single soled heel that every woman searches for. Because of its versatility, the style is available in an array of fabrics such as patent leather, suede, leather, and silk.

You can never go wrong with a classic pointed toe pump!
The Hangisi
The ‘Hangisi’ Manolo is arguably the most iconic shoe for our generation. Unless your mother had them in her closet while you were growing up, you were likely introduced to the style during The Sex and the City Movie when Mr. Big proposes to Carrie with the ‘Hangisi’ pump in the blue hue shown below featuring the signature crystal buckle. Luckily for you, the style is available in a mule, a flat and with a 70mm heel, as opposed to the full 105mm heel, if you are looking to style it in a more practical way.

The mule that took over our instagram feeds is fresh, fabulous and elegant!
