Malone Souliers and designer Tabitha Simmons have reunited once again. For their second collaboration, the collection takes inspiration from British heritage with modern twists.
There are new designs this time around, too, featuring the Katarina heeled sandals and the Saffron espadrilles. Plus, the 90mm Liberty pump makes a return, seen with stud adornments and mesh detailing.
Other standouts include the nautical-inspired striped Isla wedge sandal, along with the Keke beige flat sandal.
“This collection is very fun, springtime and utilizes the fabrics that Tabitha loves — that was always a really important cornerstone for her,” founder and chief brand director of Malone Souliers, Mary Alice Malone, told FN at a party celebrating the launch on Thursday in New York.
“The synergy is amazing,” added Simmons.

For their first collab, which debuted in April, Simmons joined forces with Malone Souliers’ co-creative directors Coco Fong and Valerio Bava on a range of mules and strappy sandals, as well as ballet pumps and kitten heels.
“For this collection, I wanted to take some of my iconic shapes and some of Malone Souliers’ iconic shapes, and do something new, whether that’s through silhouettes or fabrics – bringing something new to both brands,” Simmons said previously. “My designs usually had a Victorian English whimsy, and we brought that together with Malone Souliers’ more timeless models and made something quite unique. It’s so great to see the final outcome.”
The capsule is now available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, on malonesouliers.com and at Harrods Shoe Heaven.
