Name: LOEWE Double L LoaferColorway: Black, Dark Chocolate, Deep Purple, Caramel LatteSKU: LOVL290X03-1100, LOVL290X02-9517, LOVL290X02-6417, LOVL290X02-0315MSRP: $1,150 USDRelease Date: Available nowWhere to Buy: LOEWEThe LOEWE Double L Loafer is built around softness. Its supple leather is gathered at the upper and shaped around a rounded toe, so it looks closer to a relaxed slip-on than to a stiff, structured loafer. The women’s style is available in suede calfskin and soft calfskin, and every version carries the same construction details.The gathered construction defines the shoe. Rather than stretching a flat panel over a hard last, LOEWE gathers the leather across the upper, which gives the loafer soft folds and a flexible feel. The rounded toe continues that approach, avoiding the sharper profile of a traditional penny or horsebit loafer.The branding is applied in an unusual way. Instead of a metal bit or a stitched emblem, LOEWE applies its Double L signature to the upper using a high-frequency process. That keeps the logo flush with the leather and puts the focus on the material and silhouette, not on hardware.Inside and underneath, the loafer is built for comfort. A padded insole sits beneath the foot, and the shoe is fully lined in nappa leather, which is noticeably soft against the skin. The leather outsole includes a rubber island, a section of rubber set into the sole that adds grip without giving up a clean leather base. A low 10-millimeter heel keeps the profile close to the ground.The colorways split by leather. Three versions use suede calfskin: a deep Dark Chocolate, a rich Deep Purple, and a warm Caramel Latte. The fourth comes in smooth, soft calfskin in Black, the most versatile option in the range.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
