The TIMBUKTU is a double monk strap ankle boot in suede — two buckles, no laces, full intention. The monk strap is the boot for the man who dresses with structure but doesn't want to be read as formal. Available in black and coffee.
Suede upper — napped matte finish. Soft to the touch, holds its shape in wear. Double adjustable buckle closure. Leather lining. Durable sole built for the city.
Named for Timbuktu — a city that was once the centre of the world's knowledge, sitting at the edge of the Sahara.
For the man who carries weight quietly.

Cleaning
For surface dirt — a slightly damp cloth, no soap. For deeper marks — a small amount of saddle soap on a damp cloth, worked gently into the leather, wiped clean, then dried with a soft cloth.
Conditioning
Apply a natural leather conditioner — beeswax-based or lanolin-based — every 3 to 6 months. Use a soft cloth, work in small circular motions, allow to absorb for 30 minutes, then buff lightly.
Water
East African full grain leather is naturally water resistant. If the shoe gets wet — wipe dry immediately and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a hair dryer or place near a radiator.
Storage
Store with shoe trees when not in use. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods. Use the dust bag provided.
The Patina
The darkening and character that develops over months of wear is not wear — it is the leather responding to you. Condition regularly and it will continue to develop for years. No two pairs age identically. That is the point.
