The MONROVIA is a full-grain leather penny loafer — available in burnished amber/tan patina and jet black high-polish. No brogue. No metal. No decoration. The leather and the silhouette are the statement.
The amber patina is warm and luminous — darker at the edges, golden at the centre, different in every light. The black is deep and mirror-polished. Both are the same shoe. Both are unmistakably Barcon Getta.
Full-grain leather upper — burnished amber/tan patina · jet black high-polish. Penny strap. Leather lining. Hybrid leather and rubber sole — pink/rose leather centre shank with Barcon Getta branding · dark grey rubber forefoot with wave-pattern tread · dark grey rubber heel.
Named for Monrovia — the capital of Liberia, founded in 1822 and named for U.S. President James Monroe. One of only two capital cities in the world named after a U.S. president.

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.
