Where there's smoke, there's flavor
Enjoy our Group-made-to-order through Tuesday, October 1st
The Joaquin Tassel Loafer is a masterclass in understated elegance. Crafted from supple Repello suede by Charles F. Stead, Joaquin features a meticulously hand-stitched apron and a sharp, chiseled toe that together create a striking balance of shape—simple yet refined.
The slim silhouette complements formal attire while effortlessly transitioning to more relaxed weekend looks.
The standout feature of the Joaquin is its exquisite smoked hickory handmade patina, a rich contrast that transitions from deep brown to warm taupe. This artful patina, applied by hand on textured suede, adds depth and dimension to the shoe.
The contrasting patina makes the Joaquin remarkably versatile, seamlessly pairing with darker shades of suiting—like charcoal, navy, and black—adding a subtle yet striking accent to your look.
The nuanced color variations enhance the character of both formal and casual outfits, making the Joaquin an ideal choice for those who seek a shoe that bridges the gap between different styles.
Inside, our signature embroidered and padded insole ensures comfort with every step, while a Goodyear-welted leather sole, hand-painted in a distinctive purple hue, promises durability and a unique touch of character.
Every pair of Joaquin loafers is hand-finished by our skilled artisans in Barcelona, Spain, through a meticulous process involving glass, sandpaper, inks, creams, waxes, fire, and an array of iron tools, resulting in a bespoke-quality finish that exemplifies the Norman Vilalta brand.
Available exclusively during our two-week group-made-to-order promotion, the Joaquin Tassel Loafer is your perfect companion for any occasion where elegance and versatility are essential.
