The NAMPULA Suede is a horsebit loafer in suede — available in navy blue and tan/cognac brown. Where the textured leather NAMPULA is precise and architectural, the suede version is warm, tactile, and unhurried. Same silhouette. Entirely different character.
Silver-tone double-bar horsebit on the saddle strap. Napped matte suede upper. Full leather sole with Barcon Getta script branding. Dark rubber heel pad for durability.

Named for Nampula — the third-largest city in Mozambique and the commercial capital of the north. A city of trade, movement, and ambition in the heart of East Africa. For the man who wants the hardware without the shine.

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.
