Raffia open toe wedges from Azzedine Alaïa
If someone said to me "I want you to make a shoe inspired by a tiki hut" I think this is what I'd come up with.
When that happens, I doubt I could sell it for £654 (and that's on sale too. Originally they were £1308) but Azzedine Alaïa have done so with their 'Raffia, python and shell wedge shoes'.
Not made from straw like I first suspected, the toe strap and wedge are actually woven raffia, the heel is cut out from python and the cuff is finished with tiny shells, giving it that tropical theme. If you want to get these they're £654 (as I said before) from Farfetch.
