Taormina Crocodile Loafer
White here is not a dye. The Himalayan finish is the skin's own gradient, ivory across the belly and grey where it turns towards the flank, and on this pair the palest part falls over the toe.
Square tiles cover the apron, large at the front and smaller as the skin runs down the sides. The apron seam is stitched by hand. The saddle is slotted in the way a penny loafer is.
Cow leather lining, full grain leather insole and a rubber outsole. EU 38 to 44, true to size.
Every skin is chosen individually, so no two pieces carry the same pattern.

Crocodile scales are horn rather than hide. Heat and direct sun dry them, and a dried tile lifts at the edge and will not lie flat again.
Wipe with a soft dry cloth along the run of the tiles. Blot rain rather than rubbing it, and let the piece dry in a cool room, never near a radiator or under a hairdryer.
Condition it two or three times a year with a product made for exotic leather, and use less than you think. Wax polish collects in the seams and takes the light out of them.
Keep it in its dust bag, unpressed and unstacked. Anything beyond a wipe is better brought to us.

How to measure
In order to select the correct shoe size, we recommend you measure your feet using the following guidelines.
Wear the kind of socks or tights you would normally wear with this type of shoe.
Stand up straight on a flat surface with your heel against a wall. If necessary, ask someone else to help you take the measurements.
Measure from the base of your heel, keeping it pressed against the wall, to the tip of your longest toe.
Always measure both feet and use your longest foot as your benchmark.
