The Embroidered Kitten in Black Italian Suede
The Embroidered Kitten pairs a delicate 50mm kitten heel with hand-embroidered floral motifs in tonal silk thread across the toe cap. In Italian black suede with a sharp pointed toe, it is the shoe that bridges day and evening – refined enough for the office, special enough for dinner.
Why It Works
The Embroidered Kitten works because a kitten heel flatters without punishing, and the hand-embroidered florals make it worth looking at twice. The 50mm heel lifts the foot just enough to lengthen the leg while staying comfortable through a full day. Tonal silk embroidery across the toe cap adds subtle texture rather than a loud motif, so the shoe reads as crafted rather than decorated. Add the sharp pointed toe and you have a silhouette that moves cleanly between the office and the evening. It is this mix of ease and detail that keeps the kitten heel rising in search interest.

The Craft
SOOS HEELS works exclusively with full-grain Italian leather and makes every pair in our Tuscan workshop. For this style the black suede upper is cut by hand and the floral motifs are embroidered in silk thread across the toe cap before the shoe is assembled and finished. The pointed toe is lasted with care so the line stays sharp and even.
Styling
Wear it with tailored trousers and a silk blouse for work, then straight into the evening with a slip dress – the tonal embroidery keeps it quietly dressed up either way. Because the florals are tonal, the shoe coexists happily with prints and with plain black. If you are weighing up heel heights, our comparison guide will help, and the buyer’s guide covers fit. For a bolder occasion shoe, see the High-Vamp Mary Jane, and for height with extra support, the Ankle-Wrap Wedge. Availability is confirmed through our enquiry page.
