Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Pumps

About

The Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps are renowned for their timeless elegance and versatility. Launched in 2008, these shoes were catapulted to fame by their appearance in the Sex and the City film, where they played a pivotal role in Mr. Big's proposal to Carrie Bradshaw. The design is inspired by the buckle-adorned shoes worn by Empress Joséphine Bonaparte, as depicted in 19th-century portraits by Giovanni Boldini. The Hangisi features an almond-shaped toe, a 105mm heel, and a scooped vamp, adorned with a jewel-encrusted buckle. Over the years, the Hangisi has been crafted in over 100 fabrics and colors, including denim, gingham, and a Manhattan street map print. It has also been transformed into various styles such as mules, flats, d'Orsays, and boots. The shoe's enduring appeal has made it a favorite among celebrities and brides alike, with special editions like the Hangisi Bride featuring a turquoise-crystal buckle. Available on platforms like Net-a-Porter and Farfetch, the Hangisi remains an evergreen style, symbolizing both luxury and timeless fashion.
