Galleria Loafers in leather

The classic loafer reread in slightly more contemporary proportions, without betraying the tradition of Italian footwear. The leather is full-grain calf, vegetable-tanned and then hand-polished to a taut, luminous surface. The front bit is lightly burnished brass, fixed with small rivets hidden in the structure. The sole is leather for the first third and thin rubber at the tread, a solution that joins elegance and practicality. Wear them with tailored trousers for a formal look, though they work with straight jeans to soften an office day. The leather improves with a soft cloth and a neutral cream every couple of weeks.
