Design and construction
The Viv’ Rangers collection showcases a signature buckle motif that serves as a focal point across its different models. The metal buckle is prominent on the leather sandals, ankle boots, Chelsea boots, and patent leather loafers, while the strass buckle adds a sparkling accent on some loafers and boots made from fabric or leather.
Materials primarily include smooth leather and patent leather for durability and polished aesthetics. Some boots incorporate fabrics for varied textures and visual interest. Construction focuses on comfort with moderate heel heights, such as the 1.5 cm heel found on the ankle boots, and practical sole designs suitable for everyday wear.
The Fisherman sandals feature an open-toe design with leather straps secured by the metal buckle, offering breathability and a contemporary look. Chelsea boots integrate elastic side panels combined with the buckle for ease of wear and a sleek silhouette. Loafers employ traditional slip-on styling complemented by the decorative buckles, available in both patent and smooth leather finishes.
