The LIBREVILLE is a woven leather tassel loafer — available in dark bronze/gunmetal brown and jet black. The upper is full basket-weave woven leather — actual interlaced leather strips in a tight diagonal pattern across the entire upper. Real depth. Real dimension. Not an emboss.
The saddle strap is smooth mirror-polished metallic leather — champagne gold/bronze on the brown colourway, gunmetal silver on the black. Polished smooth against matte woven. That contrast is the whole shoe.
Slim leather tassel on the saddle strap, colour-matched to the metallic. Rounded toe, low warm brown stacked leather heel.

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.
