Pindaiva Beige Suede Embroidered Ballerinas
The Pindaiva is a pointed toe ballet flat in soft sand beige suede, carrying a tropical embroidery across the whole side of the shoe: elongated banana leaves in lime and olive green, a stylised flower in rust orange streaked with cream near the toe, and fine cream and old rose sprigs across the middle of the foot.
Every leaf is filled stitch by stitch in glossy thread, laid densely enough to sit slightly proud of the suede. On a pale ground the embroidery reads like a botanical print on paper, which makes this the version that goes with the most. The shape underneath is deliberately quiet: a clean V topline, no strap, no hardware, and a very fine sole.
How to wear it
- Tone on tone with cream, camel or ivory, so only the embroidery shows as colour.
- With cropped tailored trousers that stop above the ankle, so the whole design shows.
- With jeans, when you want the flat to look considered rather than casual.
Size & fit — please read before ordering
Made on the same French last, cut slim and precise. If your feet are slim to average, order your usual size. If they are wider, we would suggest sizing up.
The pointed toe adds length to the silhouette but not to the fit, and suede has very little give across the widest part of the foot. Keep to your usual size rather than going down, and if you are between two, take the larger. Not sure which size to take? Write to info@mangara.be before you order and we will help you choose.

Brush suede with a soft suede brush, always in one direction, and never use water on it. Pale suede marks more easily than dark, so protect it with a suede spray before the first wear rather than after. Store the pair in the dust bag.

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
