The KUMASI is a full-grain high-polish leather tassel loafer — available in vivid mustard/golden yellow and deep espresso brown. Mirror-polished finish on both — almost patent-like in its depth and shine. Clean apron-toe construction. Leather tassel on a smooth wide saddle strap, matched exactly to the upper colour. Low stacked leather heel.
The mustard colourway is the boldest shoe in the Barcon Getta collection. The one that announces itself. The espresso brown is its counterpart — deep, rich, and just as polished.

Named for Kumasi — the second-largest city in Ghana and the capital of the Ashanti Region, one of the most historically significant cities in West Africa. The seat of the Ashanti Kingdom, known for its gold, its craft, and its culture.
For the man who is not afraid of colour.

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.
