The calf leather
A polish that deepens with wear
This loafer is cut from smooth calf leather that takes a deep polish and keeps it. Where the front creases with each step, the leather folds cleanly and does not crack or peel. Looked after with a cloth and a little shoe polish, it is made to be worn for years.

The tassels
Two tassels that move as you walk
A slim leather lace runs around the collar and finishes in two tassels at the front, so the shoe holds close to the foot without a buckle. The tassels hang from the lace itself, move with every step and settle back into place, wearing after wearing, for years.

What our customers say
Real photos from our customers

cocktail bar night and they looked right with pressed trousers. the slip-on bit is the best part when you’re rushing out.

outdoor wedding held up well all day. the tassels moved a bit when walking, but that’s fine.

tram ride into town was easy in these. simple to get on, and the leather still felt good after sitting awhile.

museum stop, lots of walking, no drama. tassels looked sharp the whole time and the loafer profile stayed slim.

slipped them on at home before dinner. the tassels give just enough character, and the leather sits clean with jeans.

rooftop drinks, dark trousers, open collar, done. the tassels catch the eye without doing too much, and they slide on fast.

Tailor fitting went smoother than expected. Easy slip-on, neat shape, and the tassels sat right under the hem.

sidewalk café seat, denim, no socks, and they worked. the sleek loafer shape makes the tassels feel intentional instead of extra.
