Shevre Black tassel loafer

Here’s a beloved member of the (large) loafer family (bit, penny, driving…): the tassel loafer.

Should (and this would be terrible) you be forced to keep only one pair of shoes for the rest of your life, this could be the right choice. The tassel has, without a shadow of a doubt, become as basic and iconic as a good pair of jeans or a well-cut white shirt: yes, the tassel moccasin has definitely settled on the other side of the shore, far from the noisy contingencies of fashion. A timeless piece.

Why ? Because it is easy, obvious, loved by the old, adopted by the young, it does not belong to any trend, crew nor to any style, it is funny with its small twirling leather ‘pompoms’, it is a model that can be reclaimed over and over again, it is the typical “I hated it but then adored it” shoe.
