Several decades ago an innovative shoemaker transformed the traditional Oxford into what we know today as the tassel loafer. The upper was formed from a wholecut piece of leather, with a distinct apron toe. The lace stay disappeared, and leather laces weaved through the topside. The entire construction was literally pulled together by the iconic tassels at the front. This sophisticated slip-on took the world by storm, and hasn’t let go since. Whether you’re taking it easy on the weekend or sporting your best business casual look, Bernard Tassel Loafers will never be out of place. With their classic design, inherent comfort, and the careful attention to detail from our artisans, you’ll never want to take these shoes off.
