Marina Larroudé, the footwear designer behind her eponymous brand, has designed a capsule collection for Rosewood Le Guanahani, a luxury resort in St. Barths, marking the designer’s first hotel partnership. The capsule, which is available today, is inspired by the joie de vivre of St. Barths. Hand-crafted in Brazil of supple leather, the capsule features four styles, including two flat sandals and two wedge sandals. 

The Rosewood Le Guanahani seal is emblazoned on the sole. The flat Madison sandals, $290, are available in ivory and Caribbean, and the Madison Wedge sandals, $330, are available in lilac and ivory. Details include gold seashells and a hammered gold buckle. Larroudé channeled the resort's colorful design elements and the shades of the resort's natural oceanfront surroundings. The shoes will be available at Rosewood Le Guanahani's La Boutique and on Larroudé's website.

"Taking cues from the joie de vivre of Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth, I designed a collection that celebrates the intersection of travel and fashion by incorporating its vibrant hues and lavish accents into a shoe that allows the wearer to carry a touch of St. Barths wherever they go,” said Larroudé.

"Collaborating with the resort, which is a personal favorite of mine, my friends and Larroudé's clients was a natural decision as on my own travels, I, like many travelers, always search for a unique souvenir to being home that reminds me of the trip. With shared clientele and a mutual appreciation for luxury, the partnership will introduce the world of Larroudé to Rosewood Le Guanahani guests, and vice versa, creating an exciting synergy between our brands," she said.

Martein van Wagenberg, managing director of Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth, added, "We are incredibly proud to collaborate with Larroudé, a brand that shares our core values as well as our ethos of playful sophistication. The natural overlap between Rosewood Le Guanahani and Larroudé's clientele makes this partnership a wonderful match, and we are thrilled to offer our guests the opportunity to purchase this exclusive capsule collection at La Boutique."
