The KEREN is a full-grain hand-woven leather penny loafer — available in deep navy and burnished tan/brown. The entire upper is hand-woven: interlaced leather strips across the vamp, quarter, and heel. Smooth leather penny strap over the woven body. Every pair is slightly different. That is the point.
This is the most textural loafer in the Barcon Getta collection. The shoe that rewards a closer look.
Full-grain leather upper — hand-woven interlaced construction · deep navy · burnished tan/brown. Smooth leather penny strap. Leather lining. Hybrid leather and rubber sole — warm tan/cognac leather centre with Barcon Getta branding · dark geometric maze-pattern rubber forefoot and heel.
Named for Keren — a city in Eritrea, set in the warm highlands of the Anseba region. A city of craft, trade, and heat.
For the man who appreciates what is made by hand.

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.
