Aurora
Aurora
product detail
Inspired by the quiet beauty of first light, Aurora is the signature design that introduced the world to GWASU. Warm natural wood, luminous gold, and handcrafted artistry come together in a silhouette that feels both timeless and unmistakably elegant.
Designed to be treasured for years to come, Aurora celebrates the beauty of simplicity. Every curve is carefully shaped by hand, allowing the natural character of the wood to remain the centerpiece. Paired with shimmering gold straps adorned with delicate crystal accents, it is a statement of quiet confidence—made for the woman who believes true luxury is never loud.
Handcrafted one pair at a time by skilled artisans in Vietnam, no two Auroras are ever exactly alike. Because each wedge begins as natural wood, variations in grain, tone, and color are expected and celebrated. These subtle differences are a reminder that every pair carries its own story.
Aurora is more than our signature sandal.
It's an invitation to slow down, choose beautifully, and walk with intention.
Heel Height: 3.5"
Preserve The Craft
Your GWASU sandals are handcrafted from natural wood and thoughtfully selected materials. With proper care, they'll continue to age beautifully and become part of your story for years to come.
Wood Care
Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
Because each pair is crafted from natural wood, subtle changes in tone and grain over time are part of its unique character.
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as moisture may affect the natural wood.
Cleaning
Wipe the wooden base with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
Use a microfiber cloth to gently polish metallic straps and crystal embellishments.
Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive materials.
Wear with Care
While handcrafted for everyday elegance, GWASU sandals are not intended for prolonged exposure to rain, sand, or rough terrain.
To preserve the craftsmanship, avoid striking the wooden heel against hard surfaces or excessive impact.
Storage
Store your sandals in their GWASU dust bag or shoe box when not in use.
Avoid stacking heavy items on top of your sandals to help maintain their shape and finish.
Shipping
We don't believe in mass production—we believe in creating beautiful things with intention.
Because each pair is made specifically for you, our shipping process includes both a production period and a shipping period.
Production Time
Each pair is individually handcrafted after your order is placed.
Please allow approximately 2–4 weeks for your sandals to be carefully carved, assembled, and finished before they are shipped.
During periods of high demand, production times may be slightly longer. If this occurs, we'll keep you updated every step of the way.
Shipping
Once your order has been completed, you'll receive a confirmation email with tracking information as soon as your package is on its way.
Estimated shipping times:
- United States: 5–10 business days
Please note that shipping times are estimates and may vary depending on customs processing, local postal services, and seasonal demand.
Order Tracking
Once your order has shipped, you'll receive an email containing your tracking information so you can follow its journey to your doorstep.
Shipping Address
Please ensure your shipping address is entered correctly before completing your purchase.
Because orders begin production shortly after they are placed, we may not be able to make changes once production has started.

A Note From The Designer
Aurora was intentionally designed to flatter a wider foot. The graceful V-shaped straps create the illusion of a longer, more elongated silhouette, while the open design allows the foot to sit comfortably without feeling confined.
I designed this style after years of struggling to find elegant shoes that flattered my own wide feet.
One of my favorite details is the straps themselves. I wanted them to feel like jewelry for your feet—something that catches the light, elevates the entire look, and makes getting dressed feel a little more special.
