The BAMAKO is a single monk strap with an apron toe — a silhouette that sits between the formal and the considered. One strap. One silver rectangular buckle. No laces. The apron toe seam runs clean across the vamp. The burnished tobacco brown deepens with every wear. The gunmetal black is dark, matte, and authoritative.
A monk strap built for the man who has moved past the Oxford without abandoning the standard.
East African full grain leather upper — hand-burnished tobacco brown · gunmetal charcoal black. Apron toe seam. Single monk strap · silver rectangular buckle. Leather lining. Chunky lug rubber sole · dark grey · deep geometric tread · tan leather shank.
Named for Bamako — the capital of Mali, a city on the banks of the Niger River where the Sahel meets the savanna and the music never stops. For the man who moves to his own beat.

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.
