French fashion house Hermès has created many iconic designs that have become part of every collector's dream. From luxurious handbags like the Birkin or Kelly, to the Twilly silk scarves with gorgeous prints.
Hermès creations have become the embodiment of timeless style, representing the image of luxury status.
More "discreet" than other leather designs from the French fashion house, Oran sandals still attract attention from many fashionistas. The advantages of Oran sandals are expressed through terms such as "accessible", "comfortable" and "sustainable". These are also the terms that create the great and long-lasting popularity of this sandal model.
Minimalist and elegant
The Hermès Oran Sandals feature an open-heel design, instantly recognizable thanks to the leather strap shaped like the letter H - the brand's initials. These sandals were created by shoe designer Pierre Hardy.
The Oran Sandals first debuted in 1997 as part of the "Year of Africa" collection, inspired by the home decor of the Ndebele tribe in Africa, featuring large geometric patterns, bold silhouettes and bright colors.
The name "Oran" of these sandals is named after the port city of Oran, in northwestern Algeria.

Pierre Hardy values respect for the body and increased comfort in his designs. He wanted to create a sandal so simple and comfortable that it was like going barefoot.
“It's like bare feet with something painted on them,” Pierre Hardy described the Oran sandals in an interview.
The Oran Sandals feature a leather insole that sits atop a wooden heel. The prominent "H" shaped strap is a tribute to the brand, inspired by the artistic quintessence of the Ndebele tribe - a tribe known as the cradle of talented artists with great artistic talent.
Hermès Oran Sandals have an impressive amount of style endurance. Minimalist yet incredibly versatile, these sandals can transcend seasonal or even yearly trends.

Without a flashy or glamorous appearance, Oran sandals are still easily recognizable thanks to their signature H-shaped strap design.
Hermès Oran Sandals are handcrafted with the brand's commitment to quality in every detail. With proper care, the sandals can last for many years.
The Oran Sandals are primarily made from Box Calf, the first leather Hermès used to create its famous handbags.
Box calfskin is one of the high-end leather materials, extremely smooth. With long-term use, a beautiful and shiny patina will form on the leather surface. Box calfskin can maintain its shape well throughout the use.
At first use, Oran sandals may feel a bit stiff. However, the more you wear them, the leather straps will gradually stretch to fit the shape of your feet.
Timeless appeal
27 years after its debut, the popularity of the Hermès Oran Sandals has barely waned. According to Harper's Bazaar , the sandals are now in high demand on luxury resale sites, while still remaining one of Hermès' most recognizable and successful leather goods.
Harper's Bazaar points out three factors that have contributed to the long-term success of the Oran sandals. The first factor is the high quality, comfortable fit and style. The second factor is the minimalist design, which easily "stands out" from all seasonal fashion trends, while still being able to be combined with many other items. Last but not least, the Oran sandals are proof of a completely unique style.
Many fashionistas consider Hermès Oran Sandals a "must-have" shoe for the summer.

Despite its minimalist design, the Oran sandals still go perfectly with any casual style in a woman’s wardrobe. You can pair the sandals with shorts, short skirts, maxi dresses, jeans or wide-leg pants. The comfort of this shoe style makes it a great choice on days when you need to move around a lot.
Additionally, the Oran sandals are easy to pack, making them ideal for travel.
Oran sandals are a testament to a classic design that has been popular for many years and still remains timeless. Stylish women all over the world love to wear these minimalist yet elegant sandals. It is easy to find a series of photos of Oran sandals on social networks such as Instagram or Pinterest.
In addition to the timeless design, accessibility is also key to the popularity of Oran sandals. Compared to other leather products from Hermès, the price of Oran sandals is somewhat "affordable".
Currently, on the brand's website, Oran sandals with straps made of Epsom calfskin and suede are sold for $760 (VND 19.07 million).
In addition, some other designs have higher prices such as sandals with fringed denim straps (860 USD - 21.58 million VND), sandals with calfskin straps combined with rhinestones (1,275 USD - 32 million VND)...

The size chart of Oran sandals is provided from 34 to 42. The color palette is quite rich with more than 20 different colors, from neutrals, light colors, dark colors to delicate pastel colors.
Although there are quite a few eye-catching colors, white, black and dark honey brown are considered the most popular colors of Oran sandals.
Sandals in these colors are often in stock and easier to buy than seasonal or yearly color schemes.
Oran Sandals come in a number of limited editions made from unique materials such as exotic leather, patent leather, denim, velvet, etc.
Similar to Birkin or Kelly handbags, Oran sandals also have a unique design called Himalaya Oran, made from Niloticus crocodile skin, dyed white and gray to simulate the image of the snow-capped Himalayan mountain range.
A pair of $760 sandals may not be the right item for everyone. However, it is a handcrafted design from a leading French luxury brand. Hermès uses the same leather as the handbags for the Oran sandals, so the quality of the leather is guaranteed. On the other hand, the comfort factor and timeless style are also notable plus points of this sandal model.
