The MANZINI is a full-grain leather tassel loafer in taupe/mushroom — that warm grey-brown tone that sits between tan and grey, between casual and formal, between seasons. Smooth, matte-burnished finish. Clean apron-toe construction. Slim leather tassel on a smooth saddle strap. Low stacked leather heel.
This is the most versatile shoe in the Barcon Getta collection. The one that works with linen in summer and wool in winter. The one that never looks wrong.

Named for Manzini — the largest city in Eswatini, the commercial and industrial heart of the kingdom, set in the warm midlands of southern Africa.
For the man who knows that restraint is its own kind of power.

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.
