The Inspiration Behind the Collaboration
Freda Salvador is a brand we’ve long admired for their impeccable shoe designs that balance modern edge with classic sensibility. When the idea for a collaboration surfaced, it felt like a perfect match: a union of Freda Salvador's beloved ELBA loafers and our background in creating thoughtful, high-quality accessories.
The loafer is a wardrobe staple — equally chic with denim as it is with dresses. Our charms are designed to take that versatility a step further, offering a way to transform your ELBA loafers into something uniquely yours. Each charm is crafted from 100% brass, combining durability with understated luxury.
The Design Process
We wanted these charms to feel both bold and refined, making an impact without being overwhelming. After rounds of sketches, samples, and adjustments, we landed on a beautiful crescent design, which honors the modern aesthetic Freda Salvador is known for while embracing NBD’s signature minimalist look.
The charms attach effortlessly to the top of your loafers, giving you a customizable style moment. Whether you're dressing up for a meeting or going casual on the weekend, the NBD x Freda Salvador Loafer Charms make your look feel intentional and elevated.
Why Brass?
Brass was the natural material choice for this collaboration. Not only is it beautiful and timeless, but it’s also durable, meaning these charms will age gracefully over time. To keep them looking their best, we recommend polishing them occasionally with a soft cloth (and possibly a brass cleaner) and avoiding prolonged exposure to water or moisture.
Restocking Soon
The NBD x Freda Salvador Loafer Charms sold out immediately when we launched them on November 16th, but more will be available soon so be sure you join the waitlist — these limited-edition charms won’t last long.
A Celebration of Collaboration
At its heart, this project is about more than just an accessory. It’s a celebration of creativity, shared values, and a belief in the power of details to transform the everyday. We’re honored to collaborate with Freda Salvador and can’t wait to see how you make these loafer charms your own.
Stay tuned for more details about the restock, and as always, thank you for supporting Natalie Borton Designs. Together, we’re redefining what it means to accessorize with intention.
