Alma 01

This loafer is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe has been stitched through according to the Blake method. The outsole has a stylish anti-slip profile. It is made of vegetable tanned leather that has been coloured by hand. The heel is divided into two sections by an elegant dovetail joint. The part that gets the most wear when walking is made of durable rubber, while the adjacent part is made of the same vegetable-tanned leather as the midsole. The heel is slightly sanded to prevent it from getting caught on the hem of the trousers. The sole edge has two very fine milled notches all around. The upper is made of dark brown suede that comes from an Italian tannery in Fucecchio, Florence, specialising in suede. The instep features the iconic copper VB logo stamped into the leather. The shoe is fully lined with premium calf leather.
