At Reinhard Frans, we uniquely understand what defines a perfect loafer. Our shoes are crafted in Europe by artisans with years of expertise in creating the finest loafers. As a Dutch family business, established in 2008, we manage the entire process - from initial design to final delivery. This enables us to offer luxury without the luxury price tag. We exclusively select premium materials, including high-grade Italian leather and suede, renowned for their suppleness and durability. Each pair is handcrafted by experienced artisans in our European ateliers, with attention to detail evident in every stitch and finish.
Our Loafer Models
The term 'loafer', also known as a brothel creeper due to its silent movement capability, originates from the English verb 'to loaf', meaning to idle - referring to the ease and comfort of these slip-ons. The penny loafer, our most popular model, derives its name from the American student tradition of keeping a lucky penny in the characteristic slot. This classic slip-on has evolved from a casual college shoe to a versatile style icon. Beyond our classic penny loafers and loafer boots, we offer various models perfect for any occasion. Visit one of our boutique stores to explore our full collection.
Styling Your Loafers
A classic black penny loafer pairs perfectly with a suit, while a suede loafer in cognac or navy excellently complements casual chinos or jeans. For warmer months, our unlined models offer optimal comfort. Complete your look with our matching belts in the same leather types and color schemes.
