Full of suedes and canvas’ (with one black pair or suede/leather boat shoes), the collection is sure to go quick. We see a new pair of penny loafers, with the very classic “penny slip” on the tongue. Personally, my favorite are the seersucker boat shoes; simply beautiful. Now, if you want to buy a pair (which you need to, because it is crucial for your Spring/Summer look) head over to Tres Bien Shop and grab one.
