Kate Middleton owns the Piper 85 block heel pumps by Gianvito Rossi in black.
The Princess added the pumps to her shoe collection in 2019. She wore them seven times between March and November that year. She wore them four times in 2020 and four times in 2022. (Of course, these are just the occasions we know about—she has probably worn them more often in private!)
About the Gianvito Rossi Piper pumps:
The Piper 85 pumps are made from black suede. They feature an 85mm (3.3”) block heel and a severely pointed toe. Like all shoes by Gianvito Rossi, the Piper heels are made in Italy.
It’s easy to see why Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Piper’ pumps are a firm favorite of the Duchess of Cambridge. They’re made from supple suede and have a sharply pointed toe and sturdy block heel. Wear yours with tonal suiting.

About Gianvito Rossi
Gianvito Rossi is the son of the renowned Italian shoemaker, Sergio Rossi. Gianvito is known for his stylish, sophisticated and timeless designs.
Rossi is a stickler for quality, even though his shoes sell for the same – or sometimes less – than other equally elevated brands. Producing still from his own factory, he would rather concentrate on impeccable craftsmanship than bling.
