Frans is the ultimate slip-in shoe for stylish summer days. Crafted from thick, soft leather with a rough texture, Frans combines the durability of a loafer with the ease of a slip-in. It features a distinctive double fringe and a stitch-down construction, enhanced by a high-quality natural crepe sole from Sri Lanka. The shoe's leather lining promotes breathability, while the open moc toe and raw cut offer a rugged look. Dual-layered fringe and robust stitching create a dynamic texture and a bold silhouette, allowing the leather to develop a unique character over time.
Frans is built on a premium natural crepe sole, sustainably tapped from rubber trees in Sri Lanka — one of the finest sources of natural crepe in the world. Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural crepe offers a unique combination of durability, flexibility, and cushioning. Its natural elasticity absorbs impact while providing superior grip, adapting to your movements with a soft yet resilient feel. The crepe’s slightly raw, organic texture gives each sole a distinct character, further enhanced by the way it darkens and softens over time.
“With Frans, we wanted to create the perfect everyday shoe — easy to slip on, impossible to live without. We combined the relaxed spirit of a slip-in with the crafted feel of a classic loafer. The double fringe adds a bold and playful twist, while the raw cuts and stitch-down construction create a cool, effortless aesthetic."
