Paradox Japanese Retro Loafers Handmade

“I hope you read me, light and playful, without caution.” If this shoe were a movie, it would be *Annie Hall*. We've always believed that a woman's charm lies in her complexity and mystery. The Paradox Loafers blend elements of bows and ties into a simple, playful design, offering the elegant freedom of a tomboy and the innocent playfulness of a young girl. The "bow" and "tie" elements represent a paradox, yet they come together harmoniously, adding a touch of whimsical charm. They embody elusive states of being— fluid, romantic, fragile yet strong. We aim to capture and express these feminine states through tangible design. Crafted from black matte full-grain calfskin, it's understated and refined, versatile and easy to pair. The design minimizes the use of stiffeners, resulting in a softer, more comfortable feel. Pair with pleated skirts for a sweet yet edgy look in spring and summer, or with coats and jeans for a casual, light feel in autumn and winter. These are the go-to shoes for any season. **Upper:** Black matte full-grain calfskin **Lining:** Natural cowhide **Insole:** Natural cowhide **Sole:** Half genuine leather outsole, balancing texture and slip resistance **Heel Height:** Approx. 2.5cm **"Sizing"** SIZE 34: Foot length 220 SIZE 35: Foot length 225 SIZE 36: Foot length 230 SIZE 37: Foot length 235 SIZE 38: Foot length 240 SIZE 39: Foot length 245 SIZE 40: Foot length 250 *These are true to size; please select your usual size.
