The accessible luxury brand L.K.Bennett is working with British luxury designer shoe brand Bionda Castana on a limited edition shoe collection, due to launch globally on February 10th, 2016.

The capsule collection comes in 20 designs made up of six different styles, true to Bionda Castana’s youthful and fun aesthetic while embracing the timeless style synonymous with L.K.Bennett. Highlights of the range, the first of its kind for L.K. Bennett, include soft feminine scallop detailing and graphic chequerboard printed leather.

“I’m very happy to be collaborating with British designers whom I admire. Natalia and Jennifer have brought their coveted aesthetic and together with our own in-house design team, created something unique for everyday luxury,” said Robert Bensoussan, Chief Executive of the fashion retailer.

Natalia Barbieri and Jennifer Portman, founders of Bionda Castana said: “We feel honoured to be the first brand to collaborate with L.K.Bennett and to be supported by such an iconic fellow British brand.” Bionda Castana was founded in 2007 and has quickly become the go-to shoe brand worn to events by celebrities such as Keira Knightley, Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo.

The limited edition collection will be sold in select global locations and online in the UK, US, France, Spain and the Middle East, as well as wholesaled exclusively at the French e-commerce website Sarenza. Prices will range from $475 to $595.
