LEATHER
Leather is a durable, living material. Each piece is unique, with natural variations in grain, tone, and texture that highlight its authenticity and the craftsmanship behind it. These subtle differences make every item one of a kind.
HARDWARE
The hardware has been plated in 18k gold, so treat the metal with care. To preserve its finish, wipe down if it gets wet, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and handle clasps, zippers, and buckles gently.

I love the look of these loafers, and also the team at essen was amazing when I had to exchange for a custom size. These are really beautiful shoes the quality is top notch. I believe these are a 'buy it for life' loafer.
I removed one star because they are very, very difficult to break in for me. I'm using blister packs and moleskin on both feet to keep them from tearing up my the back if my foot.

these shoes were so comfortable, right from the beginning. A beautiful shoe! I went down a size on Marre's advice, as my heels have a tendency to slip out of shoes when walking.
