Description
The Molière is a modern reinterpretation of the classic penny loafer, blending understated Parisian elegance with a refined sense of detail. Its sleek silhouette is elevated by our signature hand-folded tongue, discreetly stamped with a silver monogram ornament with the initial “JS”.
Crafted in polished dark brown leather, this versatile pair is designed for everyday ease and timeless sophistication. The supple construction and soft leather lining ensure all-day comfort, while the Blake-stitched sole offers flexibility and durability.
Origins
The Molière was created to commemorate the opening of our second boutique at 3 rue Molière in Paris’s 1st arrondissement. This thoughtful design brings together key elements from several of our signature styles and features our first-ever metallic logo, elegantly pinned on the right side. It also showcases our iconic fold, pleating beautifully thanks to the supple, hand-creased Italian leather. The result is a refined expression of craftsmanship and Parisian elegance.
Words from the designer
“The Molière is a penny loafer we’re proud to dedicate to our new space. Like the boutique itself, it’s a simple, chic, and elegant addition to the prestigious 1st arrondissement. Available exclusively in-store and online, it has already been received exceptionally well. It’s a style we’ll continue to evolve, experiment with, and celebrate.”

Care instructions
PROPERTIES
Calf leather is known for its fine grain, supple feel, and refined appearance. It offers an ideal balance of softness, strength, and flexibility. Polished calf adds a subtle shine that enhances its natural elegance while maintaining durability. Over time, it develops a unique patina, a testament to how it's worn and cared for.
CARE
After each wear, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light marks.
For light scuffs, rub gently with clean, dry hands, the warmth and natural oils of the skin can help reduce surface marks.
To nourish and protect the leather, apply a neutral or matching color cream polish using a soft cloth. Let it absorb, then buff lightly with a clean brush or cloth to restore the shine. Avoid liquid polishes or waxes, which may clog the pores of the leather.
For long-term care, use cedar shoe trees between wears to help absorb moisture and preserve the original shape of the shoe.
Before storing, lightly spray with a water-repellent leather protector and place in the dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Repeat these care steps regularly to maintain the leather’s natural beauty and softness.
