If you’re wondering what appelle moi means, just do a quick Google Translate and the English definition would be call me. And while millennials these days would very much prefer to send a DM over making an actual call, you could say these shoes are a throwback to a time when things were done the old-fashioned way.

This season, Saint Laurent has given its signature black pump the Appelle Moi treatment, by adding the words in an italic font over on the sculptural heel of the Appelle Moi Ankle Strap Pump (SGD1700). It’s essentially the perfect pump to wear on most any social occasion, especially if you know your crush will be in attendance. Just make sure he actually took up a Basic French 101 class. Now, back to the pump. Each pair comes with an adjustable ankle strap with a low cut vamp and is available in a single patent calf leather finish. The heel height? Just 10.5 cm, which is the perfect height as tested and proven by the other cult-favourite from YSL, the Classic Tribute 105 Sandal.

And if you can’t get enough of Appelle Moi, or simply want something to go along with the seductive pump, Saint Laurent has a single clip earring and a choker which both come in light gold-toned brass with the same words, both available in store.
