The Vienna Spotted Hair-On Leather
The Vienna Spotted is a loafer with lots of character. Its hair-on leather adds depth to a clean, minimalist silhouette, giving simple outfits a focal point. Wear it with tailored trousers at work, relaxed denim on weekends or a knit dress when you want something polished but not too formal. Easy to style without losing personality, The Vienna brings together everyday comfort, strong design and just the right amount of contrast.
Like all Blankens shoes, The Vienna Spotted Hair-On Leather is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal. We use responsibly sourced European leather from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries, ensuring high quality, responsible sourcing, and a lower environmental impact. The natural hair-on leather requires careful handling during production, and the hand-stitched details demand 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 Spotted Hair-On Leather is a women’s loafer crafted in dyed spotted hair-on leather that gives each pair its own natural variation and texture. The softly rounded almond-shaped toe keeps the silhouette clean and balanced, while the hand-stitched apron detailing adds subtle structure to the front. Inside, a cushioned insole provides a gentle padded feel underfoot. Finished with a low heel and flexible construction, it’s a loafer designed for long days and everyday wear — expressive 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.
