The Verona Burgundy Brown Leather
The Verona is a loafer to rely on, from busy workdays to slower weekends. Its rounded shape and supportive construction create a grounded feel, while burgundy-brown leather brings warmth to its classic silhouette. Wear it with tailored trousers, relaxed denim or a skirt and tights when you want a polished look. Timeless without feeling predictable, The Verona adds quiet character to your wardrobe and is made to be worn often.
Like all Blankens shoes, The Verona is crafted by hand in a small, family-run, solar-powered factory in northern Portugal. We use European leather sourced from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries, ensuring exceptional handmade quality, responsible sourcing, and a lower environmental impact.
At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing shoes for our own lives. We test, wear, and carefully work through every style ourselves — making sure each shoe is well-built, has a clear function, and earns its place in your wardrobe. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.
The Verona is a women’s leather loafer made in deep brown leather, designed as a classic tassel loafer with a rounded almond-shaped toe. The smooth leather upper features hand-stitched apron detailing along the front, a time-intensive craft that adds both character and durability. A leather strap runs across the vamp and is finished with long leather tassels. The shoe sits on a low block heel and a durable black rubber sole, creating a stable, well-balanced profile. The deep brown leather adds warmth and depth, offering a soft contrast to black outfits and pairing easily with all wardrobe neutrals.
Treat your shoes to make them last longer! Regular care keeps your shoes beautiful, soft, and strong. By cleaning, conditioning, and protecting the leather, you preserve its suppleness, prevent cracks, and maintain its natural shine. Think of it as skincare — for your most trusted companions. A small ritual that makes a big difference, keeping your Blankens favorites fresh and ready for every season.
We recommend using a protective spray, such as the Water Proofer, before first wear and reapply regularly to guard against moisture and stains.
Don't forget the inside. Refresh the insole by cleaning it with The Foam Cleaner.
We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place when not in use, with a shoe tree or paper stuffing to maintain shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat.
The inner sole length is measured from heel to toe. Add a bit of extra space for the feet. For shoes with a pointed toe, keep in mind that your foot will not extend all the way into the pointed end.
