The Soft Cowhide Slip-On Mules - Grounded Luxury, Effortless Ease
Made to fit you.
Leave your sizing notes at checkout — we’ll refine your order before it ships.
A quietly confident staple designed for movement and meaning. These unisex slip-on mules are handcrafted from buttery top-grain cowhide and built on a thick, ergonomic sole that echoes the comfort of a Birkenstock—but with a sleeker, more sculptural silhouette.
Sculpted for all-day support and subtly contoured to mold to your foot over time, they feel like ease itself—whether you’re boarding a flight, wandering a weekend market, or flowing between work and play. Each pair reflects the beauty of timeless utility: intentional, versatile, and designed to last.
Made in limited quantities from naturally tanned hides that soften with wear and age with grace. True slow fashion—grounded in comfort, made for real life.
