The NAMPULA is a full-grain fine-textured leather horsebit loafer — available in deep espresso brown and midnight navy blue. The texture is a fine, all-over micro-scale emboss — tight and uniform across the entire upper. Gunmetal horsebit hardware on the saddle strap. Slightly rounded toe, low stacked leather heel. Warm tan leather lining at the collar.
Where the HARER is mirror-polished and architectural, the NAMPULA is textured and tactile. Two horsebit loafers. Two entirely different shoes.
Full-grain leather upper — fine micro-scale all-over emboss · deep espresso brown · midnight navy blue. Gunmetal horsebit hardware · double-bar bit. Leather lining · warm tan. Full leather sole — natural tan/cognac leather · stitched welt edge · Barcon Getta script branding at centre. The most formal sole in the collection.
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.
