The Amal Black Leather

The Amal is a Blankens classic with attitude. Smooth black leather holds its sharp shape, while fringe and double tassel details give this loafer a character of its own. A chunky lug sole adds a modern edge to tailored trousers, jeans or a skirt with tights. Wear it to work, to weekend brunch or out in the city when you want to feel polished without being overdressed. Dependable, distinctive and made to stay in your wardrobe.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Amal is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal. We prioritize planet-conscious production, using premium, responsibly sourced leather from Gold Rated Leather Working Group (LWG) tanneries, ensuring high-quality materials and a lower environmental impact. The smooth black leather upper is carefully selected for its substantial grain, structured longevity, and beautiful natural shine, while the striking apron stitching is meticulously finished by hand. This is thoughtful craftsmanship designed to look incredible season after season and to age beautifully over time.

At Blankens, we are a small team of women designing shoes for our own lives. We test, wear, and refine every style ourselves to ensure it works in everyday situations. Each shoe must have a clear function and feel natural in the wardrobe. The goal is simple: shoes that earn their place through comfort, usefulness, and design that adds something to an outfit. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.

The Amal is a women’s leather loafer featuring a bold, traditional kiltie design. Crafted from premium black LWG-certified leather, it is distinguished by a rounded toe, hand-stitched apron seams along the front, and a classic fringed kiltie flap topped with double leather tassels across the vamp. Built with a robust, structured leather upper that maintains its form, it is set on a substantial, textured luged rubber outsole that offers excellent grip, stability, and a modern, chunky silhouette. Combining heritage tailoring elements with a contemporary, urban edge, The Amal delivers reliable all-day comfort with maximum wardrobe utility.
