XALF Shoes: The Nude Collection

XALF the nude collection (1)Straight from a romance novel, XALF The Nude Collection encourages women to free themselves and live life on their own terms.

With styles named “The Ex-Husband”, “The Skinny Dipper” and “The Man-Eater”, XALF The Nude Collection is provocative and liberating at the same time.

XALF The Nude Collection is based on the premise: we are all automatically drawn to the sight when of bare flesh.

That’s why XALF’s latest is composed of various nude tones as an accompaniment to muted colours that are considered mature and immune to youthful folly. They are for those who have lived a life that is invested in experiencing the deepest of human emotions: pain, love, anticipation, hope exhilaration, and ultimately a sustained enthusiasm for living when life doesn’t go your way.
