Can a Beautiful Shoe Survive a Real Ramadan Night?

They say fashion tells a story, but for Dina Yassin,…

So what’s the point of a “special” Ramadan piece if it can’t handle the actual month: the long day, the standing, the greeting, the last-minute stop at someone’s house, the “stay for dessert” that turns into a whole second evening?

Santoni comes in with a tight answer for Ramadan 2026: a limited capsule built for suhoor gatherings, iftar dinners, and Eid celebrations, rooted in the month’s tone of reflection, togetherness, and generosity. It reads like a brand that understands Ramadan does not need extra noise. It needs pieces that move with you.

The capsule stays focused on three coordinated styles, all in Velo pink metallic nappa leather, each finished with a tone-on-tone maxi buckle set with crystals. That buckle matters because it does not behave like a spotlight. It shows up when light hits, then backs off. It feels more like a private detail than a public announcement.

The lineup is simple, in a good way. A slide with the crystal buckle placed on the toe, made for the parts of Ramadan where you want to look intentional but you refuse to suffer. A sandal with the same buckle and a geometric 5 cm heel, which hits that rare sweet spot where you get posture without regret. And a crossbody bag that keeps your hands free, with a crystal buckle, a removable chain strap, and a magnetic flap closure for those nights when you are juggling your phone, your car keys, and a dozen hello-kisses at once.

What makes it feel right for Ramadan is the practicality dressed as polish. The pieces aim for comfort with a sophisticated shine, designed to move from day to night through the month. That’s the real brief. Not “look fancy.” More like: look like yourself, but sharper, calmer, and ready to stay longer than planned.

And the brand does not pretend it reinvented the world. It frames the capsule as meaningful luxury that honors local traditions while staying true to its Italian heritage and timeless aesthetic. Fine. But the stronger proof sits in the edit: three pieces, one color story, one buckle language, no clutter.

So here’s the question that actually matters this Ramadan: do you want your wardrobe to perform, or do you want it to support you?
