The Vienna Brown Leather
The Vienna makes everyday dressing feel effortless. Clean lines and rich brown leather give this loafer quiet confidence, whether you wear it with tailored trousers for work or relaxed denim at the weekend. Its minimalist shape feels polished without being formal, while the warm colour adds depth to black, cream and other wardrobe favourites. Comfortable and easy to style, The Vienna makes simple outfits feel just right each day.
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 brown 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.
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.
