About Bernardo 1946
This is a shoe brand built almost entirely on one idea: the sandal, done well. Bernardo traces back to designer Bernard Rudofsky in the 1940s, and the brand still leans on that heritage today, reissuing signature silhouettes in its "Icons" and "1946 Capsule" collections alongside newer styles like loafers, mules, and low-heel pumps.
The shoes are handcrafted in Brazil using leathers like antique calf and soft sheep leather, which gives them a broken-in, comfortable feel that regular customers rave about even on day one. You'll mostly find women shopping here who want something dressier than a basic flip-flop but still easy to wear all day — think resort trips, summer weddings, and warm-weather errands. One thing to know: because these run true to a classic, narrower last, it's worth checking the size chart carefully before you order rather than assuming your usual size.
What they sell
- Flat, low-heel, and platform sandals
- Heels and dress pumps
- Ballet flats and loafers
- Mules and Mary Janes
