There is a moment in fashion when a shoe stops being an accessory and becomes a portal. A doorway into a world where imagination meets craftsmanship, where leather whispers elegance and printed fabrics bloom into life. The Garden of Eden Collection Pumps belong to that world. Imagine the spirit of Liberty London wrapped into a shoe—artistic, whimsical, unapologetically pretty. Then picture Alice in Wonderland strolling through Kensington, but styled by Audrey Hepburn herself: graceful, timeless, refined.
The Garden of Eden pump is exactly that. A modern fairytale made wearable, designed for women who love drama softened by sophistication. Each pair mixes Italian leather lining, Liberty-style floral fabrics, and the pièce de résistance—a delicate ceramic ornament adorning the toe like a tiny treasure.
These are shoes not just to wear, but to perform in. From green to pink to blue, every colourway carries its own mood and its own styling possibilities. Art on feet, by OANDB.
Why This Collection Matters Now
We are living in the era of maximalism. After years of minimal, nude, invisible shoes, fashion has swung back to story-driven design. Women want pieces that aren’t quiet—they want pieces that speak. The Garden of Eden pump is for the modern romantic: confident, curious, and not afraid to turn a pavement into a catwalk.
The ceramic ornament is a nod to collectible art. The floral fabric channels historic London prints. The silhouette—slim, poised, slightly curved—is pure Audrey Hepburn. These pumps bridge fantasy and refinement, making them perfect for women who demand whimsy without losing grown-up elegance.
And now, let’s style them.
1. The Green Garden of Eden Pump — Nature’s Couture
What Green Represents
Green in fashion is rebirth, vitality, and subtle seduction. It evokes gardens after rain, mossy walls in Florence, the deep tones of ancient tapestries. A green floral pump with ceramic detailing instantly becomes the most unique piece in any outfit.
How to Wear It
1. With Crisp White Linen
A white linen dress or trousers sharpens the romanticism of the floral print. The shoes become the focus, allowing the ceramic ornament to glow like a jewel.
2. With Earth-Tone Neutrals
Think taupe, stone, buttermilk, raw silk. This palette mirrors nature and elevates the green into couture territory.
3. With Deep Emerald or Bottle Green
Tone-on-tone styling is powerful. A monochrome green outfit is unexpected and fashion-forward—very London editorial.
Accessories That Sing with Green
- Gold hoops or hammered gold cuffs
- A botanical-print silk scarf (tied Audrey-style around the neck)
- A structured mini bag in forest green, crocodile embossed if you dare
Where to Wear Them

- A Michelin-star lunch at The Rosebery, Mandarin Oriental
- Afternoon tea at Claridge’s
Green pumps from the Garden of Eden collection transform you into a walking painting—refined, natural, quietly enchanting.
2. The Pink Garden of Eden Pump — Modern Fairytale Darling
What Pink Represents
Pink today is power wrapped in softness. No longer reserved for innocence, it represents the woman who embraces her femininity without apology. In these pumps, pink becomes cinematic—somewhere between Audrey’s Parisian charm and Alice discovering a curious dreamland.
How to Wear It
1. With Ice-Blue Denim
Pink floral pumps with classic denim is stylishly rebellious. Wear with cropped jeans or a 1950s-style A-line denim skirt to channel Hepburn in “Funny Face.”
2. With Soft Neutrals: Blush, Nude, Ivory
Soft pairings emphasise the fairytale quality of the shoes.
A silk blouse tucked into wide-leg trousers makes the pumps feel beautifully grown up.
3. With Bold Contrasts: Red or Magenta
Fashion insiders know: pink and red is no longer a clash—it’s a celebration. Perfect for the woman who likes compliments from strangers.
Accessories That Enhance Pink

- Pearl drop earrings for that romantic edge
- A tiny ceramic-inspired clutch to echo the shoe’s ornament
Where to Wear Them
- A fashion week event
- A gallery opening in Soho
- A romantic dinner at Sketch London
In pink, the Garden of Eden pump becomes a mood: uplifting, luminous, and full of pretty drama.
3. The Blue Garden of Eden Pump — Dreamscape Elegance
What Blue Represents
Blue is calm intelligence. A deep breath before the next adventure. It is also universally flattering, whether powder blue, navy, cerulean, or Delft-inspired porcelain tones. The ceramic ornament feels especially poetic on a blue background—almost like a miniature vase from a Dutch masterwork.
How to Wear It
1. With Tailored Pieces
A navy trouser suit or midnight-blue tuxedo dress makes the pumps feel architectural and modern. Think Audrey Hepburn in “Charade”—sleek, controlled, impossibly chic.
2. With Silver or Gunmetal Grey
These tones give a moonlit glamour to the blue floral print. A pleated silver skirt with these pumps is pure editorial magic.
3. With Crisp Shirts
A white poplin or chambray shirt tucked into high-waisted trousers gives a smart-casual balance that lets the shoes breathe.
Accessories That Echo Blue
- Sapphire-inspired earrings
- A navy structured handbag
- A silk hair ribbon for a soft Alice-in-Wonderland nod
Where to Wear Them
- A boardroom-to-dinner evening in London
- A wedding reception on the Amalfi Coast
- A private club event where shoes do the talking
Blue pumps from this collection are wearable fantasy for the woman who doesn’t need to shout to make an impact.
How to Style the Ceramic Ornament Feature
Ceramic details on shoes are unusual—and that’s the point. They add charm, collectability, and artisan character.
Tips for Integrating the Ornament into Outfits
- Keep jewellery minimal if the ornament is colourful.
Think gold studs instead of chandelier earrings. - Match ceramics with ceramics.
A delicate ceramic brooch or hairpin gives an intentional, curated feel. - Let the shoes start the conversation.
Avoid overly embellished dresses so the ceramic piece remains the centrepiece. - Choose handbags without heavy hardware.
Leather with clean lines helps keep the look refined.
The Audrey Hepburn Formula for Wearing Statement Shoes
Audrey understood proportion: when the shoe is the star, the outfit must frame it.
Her timeless rules adapted for your Garden of Eden pumps:
- Balance volume: If the skirt is full, the top should be fitted.
- Keep the neckline simple: Boat neck, crew neck, soft V.
- Let colour tell a story: Green = nature, Pink = romance, Blue = calm elegance.
- Walk with intention: These shoes deserve grace, posture, and presence.
Fabric Floral Prints + Leather Lining = Comfort Meets Couture
The inside is buttery leather, moulding to the foot. The outside is a floral tapestry reminiscent of Liberty’s famed prints—historical yet modern. This duality allows the pumps to be worn all day without compromising the fairytale atmosphere.
Final Thoughts: A Shoe That Creates a Persona
The Garden of Eden collection isn’t simply footwear; it’s character design. When you slip on the green pair, you become the woman who loves wild gardens. In the pink? You are the romantic heroine. In the blue? The elegant dreamer with impeccable poise.
Each pair tells a story—and each ceramic ornament is a whisper from that story.
Wear them boldly, lovingly, and with the confidence of a modern Audrey Hepburn stepping through a Liberty-printed wonderland.
