Gunmetal Grey Suede Personalize

Gunmetal Grey Suede PersonalizeThe Lbardi driving loafer is an iconic menswear staple. Each pair is handmade in our Florence workshop, utilising over 100 individual steps, including hand cutting, hand lasting and hand stitching the upper. The Lbardi driving loafer is constructed upon our softly chiseled last, which defines the shape of each and every pair. The thing that distinguishes the Lbardi driving shoe apart from others, is our hand stitching process, which utilises the

the Italian name for surgical stitches

including hand cutting

to achieve a beautiful two tone effect

L'bardi combines the casual with the formal

a leather sole with an anti-slip rubber insert and a 1cm stacked leather and rubber heel

The original technique involves involves using two needles and an awl to painstaking hand stitch the vamp while the upper is nailed on the last

which is hand dyed to create a 'castagna' or 'chestnut' patina

Each pair is handmade in our Florence workshop

surpassed only by the Tirolese construction

as well as a matching two way zip opening

It is a technique we call 'la sutura'

Our 'Penniless' loafer omits the slit of the traditional penny loafer to create a more minimalist design
