Begonia Olive Green 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. Three tones run side by side, a pale pistachio, a soft pewter metallic and the olive of the shoe itself, curling into a small teardrop ring near the toe and continuing around the topline as a fine three-band trim.
The leather is a muted olive green, closer to a dusty khaki than to anything bright, which is what lets the appliqué read as jewellery rather than decoration. 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.
This is the flat that saves an outfit that is otherwise very simple. Ivory linen, cream tailoring, a navy dress, a straight jean turned up once, and the shoe does all the work.
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 pistachio, pewter metallic and olive, 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. Take particular care around the applique, where the layers meet, and never rub the metallic strip with an abrasive cloth.

Rather wonderfully, you’re buying directly from our brand partners: a lovely bunch of independent makers who pack and post every order themselves, from their own workshops, with tracking.
Each one sets its own postage, shown before you pay, and looks after any duties in its own way. Order from three brands and three parcels will arrive, which we prefer to think of as a birthday that lasts most of the week.
Within the UK: 2 to 5 business days
From further afield: 7 to 14 days, and frequently rather quicker
Returns go straight back to the brand that sent them, who will be delighted to help. As, frankly, will we.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you’ve changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it on its way back. No reason required, and we certainly won’t ask for one.
Do open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop and we won’t 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 brands kindly cover it themselves, and if yours does, you won’t 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, or of you showing us proof of postage, whichever comes first.
A few things are made to stay with you: 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 quite as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we’ll sort it.
Simply email mail@brixbailey.com and we’ll guide you through it.
Lovingly packed and posted by Mangará Atelier themselves, with tracking. Each brand sends its own parcel, with postage shown before you pay. Changed your mind? Fourteen days, no reason required, and returns go straight back to Mangará Atelier, with us on hand to guide you. Delivery & returns
