The Vienna Black Leather
The Vienna is the loafer you reach for when you want to look sharp without feeling stiff. Its clean shape and black leather bring quiet confidence to everyday outfits, from tailored trousers for work to denim and knitwear at the weekend. Understated but never dull, it fits naturally into a wardrobe of well-loved essentials. Comfortable, versatile and easy to wear across seasons, The Vienna gives simple dressing a polished finish.
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.
