The West Palm Loafer

The creation of our needlepoint panels is a testament to an age-old tradition that dates back to the 16th century, celebrated for its intricate detail and artistic expression. Each panel is meticulously crafted and then inspected to ensure it meets our exact standards. This rigorous process honors the historical significance of needlepoint, which has adorned fine garments and furnishings for centuries. Only after passing this careful scrutiny is the panel ready to be expertly combined with our handcrafted loafers, ensuring a product that is as rich in history as it is in quality.

Each needlepoint panel undergoes a meticulous process of measurement and outlining to ensure it is perfectly prepped for assembly with the leather. This attention to detail guarantees that the intricate designs are precisely placed, maintaining the harmony and balance of the overall shoe. Our artisans take great care in aligning each panel, a step that reflects our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. This precision ensures that every pair of loafers not only looks stunning but also upholds the highest standards of quality and durability.
