The PORT-LOUIS is a wingtip brogue Oxford that does not ask permission. Two leathers on one upper — pebbled grain across the vamp and quarter, croc-embossed on the toe cap, heel, and wingtip panel. Brogue perforations along every seam. A chunky lug sole that puts this shoe firmly between the boardroom and the street.
Available in Green/Navy and Navy/Brown. Two combinations. Both deliberate.
East African full grain leather upper — pebbled grain body · croc-embossed toe cap · heel and wingtip panel. Closed Oxford lacing · 5 eyelets. Leather lining. Chunky lug rubber sole · navy blue rubber · tan leather midsole welt.
Named for Port Louis — the capital of Mauritius, a city on the Indian Ocean where African, Asian, and European histories converge into something entirely its own. For the man who carries more than one story.

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.
