Bold and chunky, the Ancient Greek Sandals x Carven collection features a unique take on the classic gladiator sandal. Inspired by bananas, it might not be the most flattering style on the market, but it is certainly one that would make the loudest statement.
Available in three superflat models, high, mid-height and low, the Ancient Greek Sandals x Carven collection is comprised of three colors as well: yellow, nude and black. Part of the Carven Resort 2014 line, the sandals boast an intricate pattern that displays a wealth of technical skill. Christina Martini, founder of Ancient Greek, states, "For the exclusive gladiator sandals, we have punctuated our traditional techniques such as cut-outs and hot stamps to create something as cool and fresh as Carven is."
