Why it's worth it
Burgundy ruched leather with a heel you can crush down — one shoe, two ways to wear it.
The Edit
Gathered ruching runs along the toe seam of this flat leather loafer — a single construction detail that separates it from every plain slip-on in the category. The heel cap is soft and fully collapsible, folding flat so it doubles as a backless slipper without any structural compromise. Slim leather sole, tonal stitching, no hardware.
