Here at Dovecote, we always jump on the opportunity to stock (and wear!) shoes that are not only stylish, but comfortable. We also love a good backstory, which makes Ancient Greek Sandals one of our very favorite new lines.

Inspired by Greek mythology, shoe designer Christina Martini and CEO Nikolas Minoglou debuted their collection of sandals. They were motivated by stories they heard of Greek gods and goddesses who had their sandals made by an accomplished sandal maker who infused each pair with magical powers.

Using leathers and velvets, these handmade shoes may not have powers, but they are both beautiful and functional, using techniques that have existed for centuries.

Stock your summer shoe wardrobe with these great sandals! We know you’ll love them just as much as we do.
