"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 Patent Leather
Italian Leather
Handcrafted with a mirror-shine patent leather upper and tonal floral embroidery, the Estate isn’t just a dress loafer — it’s your signature move. Built for black-tie, art gallery openings, rooftop toasts, and the moments you don’t just show up — you arrive. Every detail is deliberate. Every step? A statement.
Slick with a tux. Bold with black denim and a tailored blazer. The Estate turns formality into swagger — and compliments into a given.

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
