The BERBERA is a full-grain hand-woven leather tassel loafer — available in burnished tan/cognac and jet black. The entire upper is hand-woven in a fine, tight interlace pattern. Smooth leather saddle strap over the woven vamp, with a leather tassel at the centre. The tassel moves. The shoe stays.
Same woven craft as the KEREN. Different silhouette. The tassel changes everything — more relaxed, more character, more room.
Full-grain leather upper — fine hand-woven interlace construction · burnished tan/cognac · jet black. Smooth leather saddle strap with leather tassel. Leather lining. Full rubber sole — warm tan/brown rubber with Barcon Getta branding · square-grid tread forefoot · ribbed heel.
Named for Berbera — a port city in Somaliland on the Gulf of Aden. One of the oldest and most strategic ports in the Horn of Africa, where trade routes from the interior met the sea.
For the man who moves between worlds without losing himself in either.

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.
