Don’t own a superyacht… or even a sailboat? This summer, live like it anyways, courtesy of celebrity-loved sleepwear label Petite Plume‘s shoe collaboration with Tkees, a footwear company lauded for its quiet-luxury designs made out of Brazilian leather.
While the Gwyneth Paltrow– and Kardashian-worn Petite Plume is known to supplement its viral, oh-so-soft pajama sets with exquisitely crafted slippers, flip-flops are a first for the brand that’s helmed by a former CIA officer. This is exactly what you’ll be getting with the Petite Plume x Tkees collection, out May 11 and available to buy on both petiteplume.com and tkees.com. Here, three never-before-seen styles of Tkees’ legendary Lily Sandal — Navy French Ticking, Cabana Stripe, and Navy With White Strap — function as vital components of Petite Plume’s larger Yacht Club capsule, chock-full of nautical-inspired nightgowns, sleep masks, robes, and PJs for the whole family, made with all your upcoming summer rituals (on or off the high seas) in mind.

Tkees’ hero Lily silhouette, in various permutations, has been spotted on the feet of everyone from Shay Mitchell and Jennifer Lopez to Kylie Jenner and Alix Earle. Stars love it for a reason: The leather sandal is soft like butter, boasts a second-skin feel, has the kind of flexibility that makes packing it into your overnight bag a breeze, and benefits from a cushioned sole that keeps comfort a priority, despite the Lily’s low-profile look.
Each of the three Petite Plume x Tkees arrivals was handcrafted in Brazil, coming to you with impressive traction to avoid unfortunate slips on the deck or stumbles on the sand. The prints, whether you choose the thicker Cabana Stripe, the intricate French Ticking in navy and white, or the fully navy-swathed option, all pay homage to “leisurely mornings and long weekends by the coast,” per marketing copy.
Translation: This is your excuse to shop the flip-flops without wasting a second (they’re already facing low inventory at Tkees, where sizes span from a women’s 5 to 11), proceeding to book that dreamy beach getaway you’ve had on your vision board all year. The two collaborators are on a quest to make you look as chic — and blister-free — in that setting as possible.
“Tkees has long been a warm-weather staple, making it the perfect partner for our Yacht Club Collection — a celebration of coastal elegance, relaxed summer living, and timeless style,” Petite Plume founder Emily Hikade tells WWD. “Together, we reimagined their iconic Lily flip-flops in a curated mix of Petite Plume heritage prints and designs inspired by the Yacht Club Collection, creating an effortless finishing touch for a sophisticated summer.”
Really, it’s all about blending the “effortless and elevated,” as Tkees’ creative director and co-founder Carly Burnett puts it. The fresh flip-flop offerings prove that simplicity need not be sacrificed for stylishness, and that all-day comfiness should most certainly not take a back seat to a head-turning summertime aesthetic.

Neither Petite Plume nor Tkees is a stranger to intentional partnerships. The former has updated its fan-favorite lounging and sleeping essentials with references to Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, “Eloise at the Plaza,” and Veronica Beard in the past, while the latter previously teamed up with the likes of J.Crew and Alice + Olivia.
You can snag the duo’s reinterpreted Lily Sandal online today. Each colorway sells for $95; sizes are running out fast.
