Our review
The Tess 70mm Mule in Black/Black from Dries Van Noten is a sculptural interpretation of a classic slip-on silhouette, defined by clean lines and a refined, high-shine finish. Crafted from calf leather with an abbrivazato treatment, the upper offers a polished surface that enhances the shoe’s sleek, minimal form. The square toe introduces a modern edge, while the mid-height heel provides both elevation and stability. A distinctive detail of the design is the mismatched metallic heels — one in silver and one in gold — adding a subtle yet striking contrast that reflects the brand’s playful approach to design. Fabrication: 100% calf leather (abbrivazato finish) Slip-on mule silhouette Square toe for a modern profile Polished leather finish with subtle shine Mid-height heel with mismatched silver and gold detail Open-back design for ease of wear Comes with Dries Van Noten dust bag Black/Black colourway A refined statement piece that balances minimalism with unexpected detail.
