The British designer Penelope Chilvers is perhaps best known because Kate Middleton wears her Spanish riding boots. But she's also made her mark with a collection of authentic Catalan espadrilles.

I found the perfect pair of linen metallic leather flat ones (with Chilvers signature green and orange striped tab) at M29 Lifestyle late last year.

This season's colors include a must-have azure blue leather metallic.

They're $140 with selected colors and sizes now 30% off. As Kate Long of M29 says, "They're so comfortable, they've replaced my tennis shoes."

M29 Lifestyle is at 2800 Pennsylvania Avenue. Tel: 202.295.2829
