"It was a perfect fit and very comfortable to wear all day. Did not hurt my feet. It is true to size."
The Estate Slipper in Black Velvet
Brushed Velvet
The Estate in Black Velvet is made for the man who owns the room without raising his voice. Handcrafted from rich velvet and finished with golden floral embroidery, this loafer blends old-world romance with new-school confidence. The contrast? Striking. The compliments? Guaranteed.
This isn’t background noise — it’s a visual crescendo. Wear it with a black tux to lean into the drama or dress it down with tailored black trousers and a crisp open collar. Either way, expect attention.

High Style
"The simplicity and sleek look of this design manage to subvert the complexity of the design. It has a subtle elegance where it likely would have become ostentatious in another designer's hands. . . AND they were immediately a comfortable fit. I'm so pleased with my purchase & delivery was extremely prompt. Another TAFT victory for my wardrobe!"
Excellent show stopper
"This shoe is even nicer in person. Used these for a large event and the compliments were endless."
Shiny Shoes
"These are show stoppers, got many compliments. they go with everything, make sure you're careful with wrinkling the leather but otherwise great purchase"
