The Ilse Jacobsen Tulip 3373 is a slip-on platform shoe in black microfibre, finished with a suede-like matte texture that gives it a soft, casual feel underfoot to eye. A dense perforated dot pattern runs across the toe, vamp and heel, graduating in density for a subtle decorative effect, while a wavy asymmetric topline and a raised, perforated pull-tab at the back of the heel add character to the design. There are no laces or fastenings here — this is a true slip-on, moulded as a single upper piece for easy, fuss-free wear.
Look closely and the craftsmanship shows: a contrast black whipstitch trim runs around the entire edge where the upper meets the sole, sitting against the cream-coloured platform base for a striking two-tone finish. That platform sole has a fluted, vertically ridged sidewall and a grippy outsole made up of small ridged oval segments across the forefoot and heel, built to handle everyday wear. Inside, a grey suede-effect sock lining carries the brand name for a neat, finished feel against the foot.
With its round toe, low heel and below-the-ankle shaft, the Tulip 3373 suits anyone after a comfortable, easy-to-wear shoe that still makes a style statement. It's a versatile option for daytime errands, weekend outings or adding a point of interest to jeans and casual dresses alike — a practical pick for those who want platform height without complicated fastenings.
