THE VIENNA BLACK LEATHER LOAFER
Expected delivery: early August
The Vienna is a loafer designed to make everyday dressing feel effortless and resolved. It’s the kind of shoe you reach for when you want to look sharp without feeling stiff — calm, confident, and comfortable at the same time. Clean and minimalist in its design, it fits naturally into a wardrobe built on neutrals and strong basics, working just as well with tailored trousers as with denim or knitwear. The black leather adds timeless elegance and a sleek, sophisticated look that never goes out of style.
Like all Blankens shoes, The Vienna is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal. We use European leather sourced from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries, ensuring high quality, responsible sourcing, and a lower environmental impact. The soft leather and hand-stitched details require time and precision — this is craftsmanship that can’t be rushed, designed to last and to age beautifully.
At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing shoes for our own lives. We wear, test, and refine every style ourselves, making sure each shoe has a clear function and a natural place in the wardrobe. We design shoes that earn their place by being useful, comfortable, and considered. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.
The Vienna is a women’s black leather loafer with a clean, minimalist silhouette and a softly rounded almond-shaped toe. Made in exceptionally soft, supple leather, it features hand-stitched apron detailing along the front and a cushioned insole that gives a gentle, padded feel underfoot. The low heel and flexible construction make it suitable for long days and everyday wear. A timeless loafer designed for work, travel, and daily life — sharp on the outside, soft where it matters.
