Debossed Print Contemporary Sandals

Birkenstock's 1774 Collection Features Archival Favorites

— September 21, 2021 — Lifestyle
Birkenstock introduces its new 1774 collection full of silhouettes that are familiar for the season. The brand gives its heritage pieces new updates that are rooted in the material, branding detail, and even at the hardware of some models. The first collection was originally launched at the start of the past year in Frieze Los Angeles.

The latest update features modern touches that are found on the iconic Arizona silhouette and the Boston silhouette. The Arizona is updated with a slim leather sole unit and a full leather construction at the upper. It is also marked with premium leather embossing that is made to look like a crocodile print in a subtle matter, complete with matte finishes at the edges.
