Introducing a new icon that’s rewriting the rules of elegance, Jimmy Choo’s Eliot Slipper. A fusion of heritage and modernity, this unisex silhouette transcends gender and cultural boundaries, redefining what timeless style looks (and feels) like today.
Named after the pioneering English author Mary Ann Evans, who challenged conventions by writing under the pen name George Eliot, the slipper carries the same spirit of quiet defiance. Rooted in 19th-century aristocratic England, then reimagined through the rebellious sharpness of the 1960s Mods, the Eliot embodies sophistication with an edge, a subtle rebellion wrapped in the smooth glide of luxury.
Jimmy Choo’s legacy of slipper design runs deep, from The Slide (a cult classic since 1999, now reissued for 2025) to the Foxley (a red-carpet favorite since 2013). The Eliot builds on this lineage, transforming the slipper into a contemporary canvas of materials, embellishments, and craftsmanship. Available both paper-flat or with a 45mm stacked heel, it’s light, refined, and built for all-day ease.
Crafted in Italy by skilled artisans, each pair combines traditional techniques with modern comfort, think Nappa footbeds lined with soft foam and leather soles for maximum flexibility. The aesthetic range is just as versatile: from studded black Nappa and vegetable-tanned buffalo leather, to leopard-print pony hair, sambuco croc-embossed patent, and suede with oversized tassels, every pair is a collector’s piece.
For the modern Jimmy Choo man or woman, the Eliot represents more than footwear. It’s an attitude, one that honors heritage, celebrates individuality, and walks confidently into the future.
