The feel

Supple calf leather with a smooth surface and a subtle natural grain. The leather softens with wear; gentle creasing and changes in lustre become part of the character of the pair.

In the making

Designed by Camille Tanoh and made in Guimarães, Portugal. The workshop studies explore the Moccasin’s profile, calf leather and the balance between the gathered apron, saddle and sole.

The designer’s notes

A quiet point of balance between tailoring and ease. Leave room through the leg, keep the hem deliberate and let the black leather give the silhouette its final line.

How to measure your feet

Fit notes

Fit and comfort

True to EU size: choose your usual EU shoe size. The foot should feel held across the instep, with room for the toes to move and no pinching at the sides. The supple calf leather softens with wear; a painful fit is not a fit to break in.

Everyday wear

A loafer for everyday city dressing, from relaxed denim to tailoring. Begin with shorter wears to let the leather settle around the foot. A leather sole can feel smooth on polished or wet surfaces; take care with your footing and avoid soaking the pair.

Between sizes or unsure about width? Share the length of both feet, your usual EU size and the socks you plan to wear with the Atelier for personal guidance.

How to measure your feet

Foot flat on paper, heel against a wall. A marks the length to the longest toe.

Stand on paper with your heel gently against a wall.
Mark your longest toe. Measure A from the wall to this mark.
Measure both feet, standing. Keep the longer measurement.

Measure both feet while standing, with the socks you intend to wear. Keep the longer length. Send the Atelier this measurement and your usual EU size for individual guidance.

Product measurements

Heel height: 3.5 cm / 1.38 in

For insole length or width in your size, contact the Atelier. Heel height is measured at the heel; it is not the thickness of the entire sole.

Care & longevity

A few considered gestures help the calf leather keep its suppleness and the shoe retain its shape.

Remove the dust
After wearing, brush away loose dust with a soft shoe brush, then wipe gently with a clean, dry cloth. For a light surface mark, use a barely damp cloth without soaking the leather, then let it dry naturally.
Nourish sparingly
When the leather feels dry, apply a small amount of a care product suitable for smooth calf leather to a cloth. Test first on a discreet area, follow the product instructions, and finish with a clean soft cloth. Avoid household cleaners and abrasive products.
Let the pair rest
Allow damp shoes to dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sunlight. Let the leather rest between wears. Use well-fitting shoe trees to support the shape, and store the fully dry pair in its protective pouch.
Look after the sole
Check the leather sole and heel regularly. Ask a trusted cobbler about wear before it reaches the upper, and discuss any protective sole or repair with the Atelier. Avoid prolonged contact with water.

For a stain, treatment or repair question, send the Atelier a clear photograph of the affected area before applying a new product.

Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. EST.

About the stitching

The needle passes through the leather. The thread is drawn by hand, gathering the edge into the moccasin’s distinctive seam. A quiet sequence of precise gestures, giving the piece its form.
