Driver loafer

The Italian Getaway: The “DRIVER” Studded Loafer

An invitation to travel, a step toward the extraordinary

Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a vintage Alfa Romeo convertible, winding along the steep curves of the Amalfi Coast. The air is heavy with salt and jasmine, and the late afternoon sun bathes the colorful facades of Sorrento in golden light. It is this very essence of La Dolce Vita that we have captured in our new Driver loafer.

More than just a shoe, it is a promise of freedom and effortless elegance.

Craftsmanship: The Soul of Italy

Each pair is the fruit of a centuries-old heritage. Handcrafted in our partner workshops in Tuscany, these loafers are the result of a dialogue between the artisan and the material.

• Premium Materials: We have selected a supple, water-repellent suede from the “Opéra” tannery. Its silky texture offers an incomparable “second-skin” feel.
• Absolute Lightness: Designed to be barely noticeable, these loafers are feather-light. Their unstructured design allows for total flexibility, accompanying every movement of your foot with natural grace.

Impeccable craftsmanship

We take great pride in ensuring that every detail reflects perfection:

• The Signature Studs: The now-classic sole, featuring precisely arranged rubber studs, ensures perfect traction and optimal walking comfort.

• Hand-Stitched Finishes: The “plateau” seams are hand-stitched with waxed silk thread, guaranteeing the durability and consistency that only human hands can provide.
• Full Leather Lining: The interior, fully lined with breathable full-grain leather, allows for barefoot wear in any season, without compromising on hygiene or comfort.

Style Tips

The Driver loafer is the perfect companion for white linen pants, rolled-up beige chinos, or even high-end swim shorts for a lunch on the terrace.

– Insert raw wood shoe trees into your shoes as soon as you take them off: They absorb moisture and preserve the integrity and shape of the shoe.

– Use a shoehorn for your comfort and to protect the shoe’s heel counter.

– Rotate your pairs of shoes as much as possible because the leather needs to dry properly to remain supple and maintain its shape. Never leave your pair near a source of heat or humidity.

– Brush the leather regularly with a special suede brush, before or after each outing. Use a Saphir waterproofing spray every 2 to 3 months to ensure its protection.

– In case of stains, shampoo using a clean brush with a mixture of lukewarm water and Saphir Médaille d’Or Omni’Nettoyant. For grease stains, sprinkle with Terre de Sommières. Let dry on shoe trees, then brush once dry.
