Story & heritage

The Mae Leather Pump appears in Ann Taylor’s current shoe catalog and product pages, with customer-review snippets calling it a “perfect pump.” It sits inside the brand’s heels-and-pumps assortment, a natural companion to the trousers, sheath dresses and blazers that define Ann Taylor workwear.

Unlike trend shoes, the Mae is valuable because it is legible: leather, pointed, simple and office-ready. That makes it a practical icon for a brand built around polished daily dressing.

Materials & craft

The official product name confirms leather construction. Current listings present the Mae as a classic pump shape with pointed-toe proportions across neutral colors, designed to pair back to the tailored clothing categories rather than compete with them.

How to choose & style

Black and navy are the safest choices for suits; tan or beige softens lighter summer tailoring. Keep the toe visible under wide-leg trousers, and use the pump with sheath dresses when slingbacks feel too casual.
