Stefan Louis (Signature Style)

This Signature Flagship whole-cut Oxford shoe from the Frederic Portier collection is a sophisticated, quintessentially traditional shoe. Stefan Louis is hand-crafted with 100% supple calfskin leather, and designed in France. Made with only one seam to hold the entire shoe together, a single piece of whole-cut leather is transformed into a perfectly resilient shoe with a silhouette so smooth that it reflects shadows – a symbol of timeless class.

This soft yet durable leather is cored out and given the grade A cushioning foam to create the iconic rubber bottom. The lace upfront alludes to the classic Oxford design, making this signature shoe timeless and reminiscent of its predecessor. Stefan Louis matches the man’s desire for comfort with its intricate lining, and exudes pure elegance through its narrow shape, clean lines and smooth surface. Its leather sole is also designed to capture masculine strength and brevity. A classic piece, yet an unerring choice for any modern formal attire, especially for the workplace.

Constructed with a single seam apart from the edge seam, the Frederic Portier – Stefan Louis lacks any vamps or quarters, and is easily distinguishable for its unique design. But unlike the traditional Oxford, this shoe consists of a closed lacing system, evoking a sleeker look and a clean cut. The shoe, with its sophisticated, simple aesthetics, creates an understated elegance. Stefan Louis takes its design from Oxford’s reputation of versatility, and is a perfect exemplar of spontaneity. Wearers can seamlessly transition from an everyday casual or business outfit to a  formal evening event.

A showcase piece in the Frederic Portier collection, Stefan Louis shoes prove to be an excellent choice for men who are constantly searching for a subtly refined and cultured look that defies the oddities of time.
