Kensington Nº30

"A good shoe doesn’t shout. It simply endures — quietly, beautifully, and well.”

–Edward Harrington, Founder.

Every pair of our woven leather loafers is brought to life in Northamptonshire — the historic heart of British shoemaking. Skilled hands guide each stage, from the precision-cut woven uppers to the hand-lasted silhouettes and Blake-stitched soles. Built for comfort, refined for modern elegance, and always crafted to last.

1. Effortless Sophistication, No Laces Required
The bit loafer has long been the gentleman’s answer to dressed-down refinement. Ours takes that heritage and elevates it — woven leather, sleek form, and a discreet metal snaffle make them just as suited to a dinner jacket as they are to smart denim.

2. Light as a Feather, Strong as Ever
Despite their intricate woven design, these loafers are anything but fragile. The basketweave leather adds breathability without compromising strength — meaning they stay cool in summer and endure with grace.

3. A Second Skin Feel
Slip them on once, and you’ll understand. Supple from day one, the leather adapts beautifully to your foot over time, offering the rare blend of slipper-like comfort and structured support.

Originally a Norwegian farmer’s shoe turned Ivy League icon, the loafer has travelled far — but never lost its relaxed charm. The addition of the metal bit (first made famous in 1950s Italy) lends a touch of sleek formality, bridging the gap between casual and dress. This version — woven, unlined, and quietly bold — is a true wardrobe chameleon.

Perfect under a tapered chino or dark denim, these loafers strike a smart-casual balance that few shoes manage. The black pair sings with sharp tailoring; the tan brings texture to linen, stone, or navy. No socks? Even better.
