The Centesimo: The Definitive Italian Penny Loafer

The Centesimo is our homage to the most iconic silhouette in menswear: the Penny Loafer. Named after the Italian word for "cent," this model features the traditional leather saddle and Del Toro X. We have refined the shape to remove the boxy, collegiate feel of American classics, replacing it with a sleeker, unlined, Italian profile that feels "lived-in" from the very first wear.

Sole Options: Classic Leather vs. Chunky Lug Sole

The Centesimo collection is defined by two distinct sole constructions, allowing you to choose based on utility and style:The Classic Leather Sole: Built with a traditional stacked heel and leather outsole. This is the timeless choice for the office, weddings, and formal occasions where a sharp, low profile is paramount.The Chunky Lug Sole: For a bolder look and all-weather utility, we mounted the classic upper onto a durable, lightweight rubber lug sole. This adds height, traction, and a contemporary edge, making it the perfect "commuter" shoe.

Materials: Premium Italian Leathers and Suedes

Texture plays a massive role in the Centesimo collection. We carefully select leathers and suedes that enhance the "relaxed luxury" aesthetic of the shoe.Premium Italian Leather: A soft, yet durable leather that resists scuffs and softens beautifully over time—perfect for daily wear and travel.Premium Italian Suede: Available in a couple varieties and colorways (rich earth tones like Chocolate, Navy, and Olive) offering a softer, more casual look.Mixed Media: Seasonal options featuring canvas and leather accents for a unique design & style.
