“The beauty of a good shoe lies not only in how it’s made — but in how it quietly elevates the man who wears it.”
–Edward Harrington, Founder
Tradition Meets Texture in British Suede
Crafted in small batches in Northamptonshire, our suede monk straps are cut from fine British suede — soft to the touch, but structured enough to hold their shape with grace. Built on a Blake-stitched leather sole for lightness and flexibility, these shoes offer a tactile twist on a timeless silhouette. Available in classic black or earthy mocha brown, they strike just the right note between relaxed refinement and purposeful elegance.

-
Versatile Year-Round Wearability
Whether it’s spring suiting or autumn layers, suede adapts with ease. These work equally well with crisp tailoring or your weekend finest — just add confidence.

Understated Comfort, Always Ready
Thanks to their lightweight construction and cushioned insole, these slip on easily and wear all day without fatigue. The single buckle closure keeps things streamlined and secure.
The Monk Strap, Reimagined in Suede
While the monk strap is typically known for polished leathers and boardroom formality, its transformation in suede opens new doors. It softens the edge, making it ideal for creative dressers and those who want a more approachable, tactile finish — without compromising on classic shape or smart appeal.
Styling Made Easy
Pair the mocha brown with olive chinos or a flannel blazer for a seasonal touch. The black suede works wonders with charcoal trousers or dark denim — perfect for dinner out or a more relaxed office day. Skip the socks, or keep it tonal. Either way, it works.
