Manolo Blahnik has helped out during many a crisis of footwear, but coming to the aid of Thai elephants? It’s not such a stretch for the shoemaker, who just debuted a special-edition stiletto to benefit the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation. Blahnik got involved after Carolyn Butler, the owner of the Napa Valley shoe shop Footcandy, vacationed with her husband at the Four Seasons Tented Camp in northern Thailand. Butler fell in love with the resort’s resident elephants and later convinced Blahnik to create the shoes, a pair of sexy pony-hair, leopard-print pumps with patent leather trim, three-and-a-half-inch heels and an open toe. All proceeds from the $645 shoes, which are sold exclusively at Footcandy (and can be shipped anywhere), go toward creating a safe haven for abused elephants.
