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.

Okay, so this was a preorder and I had to wait a little while for delivery. But gosh it was well worth the wait.
The packaging was considered and beautiful.
The moccasin is a beautiful and well constructed shoe.
The leather is a dream and the shoes are so comfortable. The insoles are like walking on clouds. I appreciate the second pair of insoles being included. I won’t need them, but I’ll use them in another of shoes.
This is my second pair of Essen shoes. The first I bought locally in Fitzroy.

These loafers are my fifth pair of Essen shoes and as always the quality and comfort are excellent. Marre provides excellent advice with sizing & couldn’t be more helpful. The fact the shoes are made on demand and aren’t flooding the market is important to me also.
