Crafted from sheer Italian mesh, the Balla is every bit as flattering as the classic ballerina but with a subtly seductive twist. Its near-nude composition and glove-like fit will lend sleekness and simplicity to wardrobes for work or for pleasure.

Expertly crafted in Italy

Every Dear Frances pair is handcrafted in Italy, following the age-old techniques and traditions of Italian shoemaking. We source and develop using only the finest Italian leathers and materials; from supple, glove-like Italian leather to our innovative sheer Italian mesh.

Precision and integrity are central to our ethos. Each pair is made to endure, both physically and aesthetically, heroing comfort and style equally, and for the long term. Our materials are sourced locally in Italy, produced to the highest environmental standards and finished to the exacting standards synonymous with Made in Italy.
