Product Description

Introducing whole new version of our popular unlined penny lloafer. For this specific loafer range we have developed a new last from scratch: The Nova Last. This last is designed to provide a superior loafer fit, featuring and adjusted heel fit to prevent any possible slippage and a generous fit in the forefoot, allowing for a very comfortable fit from day one. Featuring a round toe with a flat profile for a more distressed look.

Aside from the new last used in the production of this loafers, this new range of loafers come fully unlined and feature soft leather heel counters & toe puffs making these truly soft & comfortable from day one.

For this specific version we've went with a beautiful full grain embossed calf, exclusively sourced from Tanneries Haas in the beautiful region de l’Alsace in France. This leather is entirely full grain and made with traditional Alsatian tanning techniques. The leather is through-dyed, double tanned (chrome tanned and vegetable re-tanned with a blend of chestnut, quebracho & mimosa) and hot stuffed with a mix of greases to nourish the leather, which provide the leather its distinctive, beautiful and rich glow, mellow touch & exceptional softness. Its distictive grain and natural finish (achieved thanks to the veg-tanning) allow the development of a beautiful and aggressive patina that will make every single pair unique and interesting over the time.

To produce this stunning leather only A-grade selection skins can be used, and so less than thirty percent of the skins that come to the tannery are suitable for the Barenia production. A very special and true luxurious leather, perfect to be used either lined or unlined, for the ultimate suppleness and comfort.

As the rest of our shoes this loafer is made to last & to just get better looking & more comfortable over the time. When the time comes, fully resoleable & rebuildable.
