A polished thong sandal that adds a small platform and enough finish for everyday summer wear.

Story & heritage
Franco Sarto is grounded in shoemaking rather than runway myth: Caleres describes the namesake designer as a Venice cobbler from age 14 who opened his own design studio in his early twenties and brought Franco Sarto collections to America in 1990. That makes the brand's icons most legible as everyday shoes with intentional lines: Mary Janes, loafers, slingbacks, sandals and boots designed to be lived in.
Franco Sarto's official navigation links directly to Bernice, and Macy's carries it as the Bernice Open Toe Thong Sandals. Macy's describes it as everyday elegance with refined Italian design and wearable artistry.
Materials & craft
Caleres frames the brand around Italian heritage, simple design and new classics, with today's creative direction continuing that focus on art, form, sculpture and purpose in each sketch, heel shape and selected material.
Macy's lists Bernice with a 0.88-inch platform height, round toe, easy slip-on fit, polyurethane upper, synthetic lining and thermoplastic rubber sole.
How to choose & style
Bernice is the sandal for a neat casual base: use it with denim shorts, easy dresses or cropped trousers when a flip-flop would be too beachy.
