Loafers - Women's Collection

The history and evolution of women's Loafers

Women's Loafers are low, comfortable shoes, usually made of leather, without laces or buckles, which slip on easily and adapt to the shape of the foot.

They are considered one of the most versatile and fashionable shoes in the world, prized for their timeless elegance and comfort.

The history of moccasins dates back to pre-Columbian America, where Native Americans wore them as everyday footwear.

Traditional moccasins were handmade from animal skin and were worn by Native Americans to protect their feet while hunting and fishing.

The first moccasins were then adapted by European settlers, who added soles and stitching, making them more resistant and long-lasting.

In the 1950s and 1960s, loafers became popular among American women due to their comfort and versatility.

In 1953, Spanish Pilar Crespi launched the first luxury women's moccasins, made of soft Italian leather.

The penny loafer: the most famous type of moccasin

The penny loafer, one of the most famous types of moccasins, was introduced in the 1950s by the American brand Sebago .

Legend has it that it was called the "penny" loafer because college students in the 1950s would place a dime in the slotted seam of the loafer for good luck and to have the coin on hand for a phone call.

The penny loafer has a simple shape, with a smooth leather upper and a flat sole. The main feature of the penny loafer is the slit stitching on the front, where the coin is usually placed.

This loafer can be worn with a wide range of outfits, from jeans to dress trousers, and looks great on both casual and formal occasions.

Other types of women's moccasins

In addition to the penny loafer, there are several other types of women's loafers, including the fringe loafer, the pointed loafer, the heeled loafer and the slip-on loafer.

The fringe moccasin is characterized by the presence of fringes on the upper and is often worn with boho-chic clothes. The pointed moccasin, however, has a more elegant shape and is often combined with evening dresses.

The heeled loafer is a variation of the moccasin that features a tall, thin heel, making it a great choice for formal occasions. Finally, the slip-on moccasin is a model without laces or buckles, easy to put on and very comfortable.
