"Moroccan raffia shoes just ooze old Hollywood, that retro Riviera style that artisans in Essaouira have been making for decades. They've worked with us over the years to make a few modifications in their design to fit our vision, like a hard sole, rounded toe, and slotted strap added across the vamp to mimic the penny loafers we're usually wearing. It takes a day for a young maker to make just 1 pair of shoes, half a day for an experienced one. What better to celebrate the change of the seasons than seasonal footwear?"---Greg
