Begonia Pink Leather Ballerinas – Pointed Toe Flats
The Begonia is a pointed ballet flat with one defining detail: layered leather worked across the vamp in a long art deco curve, each strip cut and set by hand. Here a soft, milky pink upper carries strips of matt raspberry and burgundy metallic leather, curling into a small teardrop ring near the toe and continuing around the topline as a fine multi-band trim. The darker tones are what keep this pink adult rather than sweet.
Underneath, the construction is deliberately plain: a fine pointed toe, a natural leather sole with the tan edge left visible, and a barely-there stacked base. Nothing else competes with the applique.
How to wear it
- With cream or ivory, so the pink reads as the only colour in the outfit.
- With chocolate brown, which picks up the burgundy in the applique and takes the sweetness out.
- With denim and a fine white shirt, for the version you wear on an ordinary Tuesday.
Size & fit: please read before ordering
This style runs small. If your feet are true to size, we recommend ordering one size up.
Add to that a fine pointed toe, which gives length rather than width, and a flat with no lacing or strap to adjust. If you are between sizes, take the larger of the two without hesitating. Not sure? Write to info@mangara.be before you order and we will help you choose.
Materials and care
- Upper: genuine leather, Leather Working Group certified tannery
- Applique: layered leather strips in matt raspberry and burgundy metallic, set and stitched by hand
- Lining and insole: leather, cushioned
- Sole: natural leather with visible tan edge
- Toe: fine pointed, flat
Wipe with a barely damp cloth and let the leather dry naturally, away from any heat source. Pale pink leather marks more easily than a dark colour, so clean it sooner rather than later, and never rub the metallic strips with an abrasive cloth.

There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
