Prism & penny Hanami Loafers
4.8 / 5 (124 reviews)Product Details
The Hanami penny loafer is wearable art, a hand painted cherry blossom design across a classic penny loafer vamp. Under the artwork is a proper handmade shoe, welted, leather soled, made to order. For men who want their footwear to be the piece worth noticing.
Hanami, on a loafer
Hanami is the Japanese tradition of viewing cherry blossoms in spring, a celebration of beauty that lasts only briefly. The design translates that scene onto the leather vamp, hand finished so each pair carries small variations. It is expressive footwear built on a genuinely serious base. See the rest of our loafers.
How it is built
Goodyear welted and hand stitched, so the leather sole is stitched on and can be resoled for years. Hand painted calf upper with the hanami artwork, classic penny saddle, stacked leather heel, hand finishing throughout. Made to order, so the artwork is finished onto your specific pair.
Fit and sizing
True to size on our round last. Snug from new, relaxes slightly with wear; between sizes, size down half. Measure against our men's size guide.
Who these are for
Collectors, artists, and men who use their footwear to say something. Wear where they can be seen, with plain trousers or dark denim, and let the loafers carry the outfit. Prefer another design on the same last? Try the Scorpion loafers.
Care
Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, use a neutral cream sparingly on plain leather areas only, and keep polish off the artwork. Rest a day between wears; store with shoe trees. Treated carefully, the artwork stays vivid for years.
FAQ
What does hanami mean?
Hanami is the Japanese tradition of viewing cherry blossoms in spring, celebrating their beauty and their brief bloom. The design on these loafers takes that theme, turning a classic penny loafer into a piece of wearable art.
Is the design hand finished?
Yes. The hanami artwork is applied by hand, so each pair carries small natural variations and no two are identical. It sits on a genuine welted penny loafer, so the construction is as serious as the design is expressive.
Can these be resoled?
Yes, by any competent cobbler. Welted construction means the sole is replaceable, so even an art piece is built to be kept.
How do I care for a hand painted loafer?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth, use neutral cream sparingly and only on the plain leather areas, and keep the artwork away from abrasion and prolonged wet. Rest between wears and store with shoe trees so the design stays vivid.
