“The best shoes don’t shout — they speak for themselves, quietly and confidently.”
–Edward Harrington, Founder.
Crafted in England, Softly Spoken in Style
Each pair of our Whitworth Suede Penny Loafers is handcrafted in Northamptonshire, the historic heart of British shoemaking. Built with a lightweight rubber sole and soft calf suede, these loafers are designed for everyday ease — combining age-old techniques with the kind of comfort you’ll never want to take off.
Why You’ll Wear Them Again and Again
1. Slip-On Ease, All-Day Comfort
No fuss, no laces — just slide in and head out. With a cushioned footbed and flexible sole, these loafers keep you light on your feet from desk to dinner.
2. Understated Suede for Effortless Elegance
Soft, brushed suede in muted tones (available in Stone, Sand, and Charcoal Black) makes these loafers feel refined but relaxed — ideal for dressing up or winding down.
3. Travel-Ready, City-Smart
Their minimal profile and rubber sole make them the perfect companion for summer getaways, long commutes, and everywhere in between. Pack light, travel well.
The Penny Loafer: A True Gentleman’s Staple
Born in the 1930s and beloved ever since, the penny loafer is a symbol of laid-back sophistication. Ours updates the classic with a more modern toe shape and ultra-light construction — making it a fresh favourite for today’s gent.
Style Notes
Perfect under a tapered chino or rolled-up linen trouser. Pair with no-show socks and a crisp Oxford shirt for an effortless off-duty look — or wear sockless with shorts for Riviera-ready style.
