One loafer, every context — built for the way you actually move through the day.

A black penny loafer shouldn't need an introduction — but this one earns a second look.


From city's rain-slicked platforms to narrow alleyways and scramble crossings, this loafer moves between contexts the way a good wardrobe staple should: without effort and without apology. Handsewn aprons add just enough artisanal texture to separate it from the generic, while the clean round toe keeps everything grounded and modern.

Dutch-tanned Silkcalf doesn't behave like traditional boxcalf leather. It's supple enough to move with the foot, polished enough to hold its own in any setting, and lined in sheepskin so there's nothing to break in — just slip on and go.

Meermin's Diamond latex rubber outsole bends with your stride rather than fighting it — flexible, shock-absorbing, and built for long days between train platforms and city sidewalks. Paired with Flex Goodyear Welt construction and a vegetable-tanned leather insole, it holds its shape over years while feeling forgiving enough to wear all day without thinking about it.
