Tassel loafer Goodwood Superleggera

Here’s a beloved member of the (large) loafer family (bit, penny, driving…): the tassel loafer in a new cognac suede leather and superleggera sole (the first one in this model).

Should (and this would be terrible) you be forced to keep only one pair of shoes for the rest of your life, this could be the one. The tassel has, without a shadow of a doubt, become as basic and iconic as a good pair of jeans or a well-cut white shirt: yes, the tassel moccasin has definitely settled on the other side of the shore, far from the noisy contingencies of fashion. A timeless piece.

Why ? Because it is easy, obvious, loved by the old, adopted by the young, it does not belong to any trend, crew nor to any style, it is funny with its small twirling leather ‘pompoms’, it is a model that can be reclaimed over and over again, it is the typical “I hated it but then adored it” shoe.

 For resort and in town wear said an ad of yesteryear about the tassel. In other words, absolute versatility: impeccable with swim shorts and a soft knit polo shirt after a swim in the sea or for a meeting at the top of a high-rise in some business district, in winter.

Obviously everyone will prefer the thought of a softer spring, or a beautiful summer. And traveling light… and very far away with a small suitcase and this superlight & super cool suede tassel. The superflexible sole will have you forget you are actually wearing shoes!

With a generous rounded toe, balanced proportions, a comfortable fit yet drawing a well arched foot and an overall neat silhouette, our tassel can be worn barefoot or not, with a stunning glazing if you want (for the calf leather versions) or with no make up whatsoever. Like a convertible, jump in’em in a flash as they always will prove to be the right choice for the right look in positively any situation.

So join the club. The tassel club.
