Landon Suede Loafers, Kurt Geiger

These tasseled suede loafers from Kurt Geiger are a wonderful way to add a touch of decadence to your footwear collection. The navy suede is not only unusual, but gives the loafers an air of old-world-charm – and that is something we, at The Gentleman’s Journal, absolutely love.
