Penny loafer Vauban Ultra Light Vibram

The Echo of 70s Vintage Style

Rediscover timeless elegance with a touch of contemporary boldness. Our new loafer is not just a shoe; it is a style statement, a perfect bridge between the casual charm of the 70s and the demands of modern leather goods.

Exceptional Suede and Iconic Silhouette

Crafted from Italian velvet of incomparable richness and depth of color, this loafer catches the light with a subtlety worthy of the finest hours of IVY style. Its clean line, a direct heiress to the most sought-after silhouettes of that decade, ensures you have an effortless sprezzatura look, whether paired with an unstructured suit or fitted chinos.

The detail that changes everything: The choice of velvet lends this classic a luxurious texture and a patina that improves with time.

The Perfect Fusion: Vintage & Performance

We have married vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge engineering for absolute comfort, day after day:

• Ultralight VIBRAM® Commando Sole: Forget the heaviness and stiffness of period soles. Our Vibram® sole provides incomparable grip, flexibility, and durability, while remaining incredibly light.
• Featherlight: At only 276 grams per shoe, you will rediscover the sensation of walking. It is the lightness of a loafer combined with the assurance of a commando sole.
• Unmatched Comfort: Every curve and material has been selected to mold to the shape of your foot, making this loafer your ally for long days in the city

These run large, so choose a half size smaller than your usual size!

– Insert raw wooden 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 heel counter of the shoe.

– Alternate your pairs of shoes as much as possible, as 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 and brush once dry.
