The CONAKRY is a full-grain leather penny loafer — available in burnished amber/tan patina and jet black high-polish. Completely smooth upper. No emboss. No brogue. No weave. No tassel. Just the leather, the silhouette, and the penny strap.
This is the purist’s loafer. The one that lets the leather speak without interruption. The amber patina is luminous — warm and golden in daylight, deep and rich in low light. The black is mirror-polished and uncompromising.
Full-grain leather upper — burnished amber/tan patina · jet black high-polish. Penny strap. Leather lining. Hybrid leather and rubber sole — vivid coral/red leather centre shank with Barcon Getta script branding · dark charcoal rubber forefoot with fine ribbed tread · dark charcoal rubber heel.
Named for Conakry — the capital of Guinea, a coastal city on the Atlantic where the Kaloum Peninsula meets the sea.
For the man who lets the leather do the talking.

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.
