Olive Espadrille Loafer

Every pair is cut, lasted and finished in Italy, on an Italian last, in workshops that have been making this kind of shoe for decades.

The edges are burnished by hand, which is why no two pairs are ever quite identical.

They run slightly narrow through the vamp. Most people take their usual size and find it right once the suede has settled.

If you are between two sizes, or your foot is on the broader side, take the larger one. The size guide on this page has the full EU, US and UK chart.

Orders placed before 2pm leave the same working day, by tracked express courier.

One to two working days in Italy, two to four across the European Union, three to five for Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Shipping across Europe is complimentary.

Yes — you have sixty days from delivery, well beyond what European consumer law requires.

Try them indoors first: the sole must be unmarked and the pair should travel back in its box. Size exchanges are free. The full terms are on the returns page.

The interior is unlined and finished smooth, so they can be worn without socks from the very first day.

The sole is light and flexible: these are made to be walked in, not only looked at.

Italian summers on the Ligurian coast, and the kind of quiet elegance that never announces itself.

The idea was one shoe, made properly, in the colours you actually want to wear between May and September.
