Eight Royale Founder Carla was dashing to a meeting in midtown Manhattan when it happened. The stiletto heel on her pricey shoes got stuck in one of New York City's famed sidewalk vents. (You can almost feel the pain while reading this!) The flats she had traveled in were too clumsy and awkward to fit into her slender bag. If only she had a foldable flat...?? That was the inspiration and beginning of the Eight Royale magic. The fashion maven (and muse for a few designers) began the journey of handpicking the materials that make up this elegant shoe. We know that you will fall in love with them!
