Tieks by Gavrieli

Some gifts are opened, appreciated, and quietly forgotten. A candle burns down. A box of chocolates disappears in a weekend. A gift card sits in a drawer until it expires. And then there are the gifts that become part of someone’s life — that show up in family photos years later, that travel to four countries, that get mentioned in the thank-you note and then again at dinner two years on. Tieks are that kind of gift. And if you’ve ever received a pair, you already know exactly what we mean. “I bought my first pair of Tieks about three years ago when another mom told me about the brand, and I have been swearing by these comfy flats ever since.” Why Tieks Work as a Gift (When Most Shoes Don’t) Shoes are notoriously tricky to give. The size has to be right. The style has to match the person. The occasion has to call for it. Most people never try — and we understand why. But Tieks sidestep almost every one of those concerns. Here’s why: Sizing is straightforward. Tieks fit true to size, a...

There are places in this world that feel less like destinations and more like a state of mind. Palm Springs, California is one of them. Tucked against the San Jacinto Mountains in the Sonoran Desert, it is a city that has always done things differently - pools the color of aquamarine, palm trees swaying against terracotta peaks, and a mid-century modern design legacy that never goes out of style. It is glamorous, unhurried, and unapologetically pink. That spirit now lives in a flat. Tieks by Gavrieli has launched Palm Springs Pink, the newest addition to their Cali-inspired Vegan Collection, and it captures everything that makes the desert oasis so enduringly iconic - warm, rosy tones, organic texture, and a certain effortless cool that works just as well at a poolside brunch as it does navigating a city sidewalk. If you have been looking for a reason to try Tieks’ vegan line - or simply want to add a flat that tells a story - Palm Springs Pink Tieks are worth your full attention. Th...

For two years, I scrolled past the Tieks content. The glowing reviews, the “I own seven pairs” confessions, the devoted Instagram accounts dedicated entirely to documenting their tieks ballet flats in various exotic locations. I thought: it’s just a flat. How good can it possibly be? Turns out, quite good. Embarrassingly good. Good enough that I am now the person writing the glowing review, which I did not see coming when I first landed on the Tieks website with deeply sceptical eyebrows. Here’s everything I wish someone had told me before I wasted two years wearing inferior shoes. First, Let’s Talk About What Tieks Shoes Actually Are If you’re new to the brand, here’s the quick version: Tieks shoes are Italian-leather ballet flats made by a brand called Tieks by Gavrieli. They are sold exclusively online - there is no physical retail location, which is either a dealbreaker or completely irrelevant depending on how much you enjoy shopping from your sofa. The things that make them dif...
