London-based footwear imprint Duke + Dexter works in collaboration with Peachy Den on a special loafer collection to round out the year. This marks the first time that the two are working together and it readies for the holiday season in an elevated manner.
The two loafers are optioned in the colorways of black or orange, constructed from premium leather materials throughout the upper. It is defined by the crocodile-style indentations along the tonal foto straps and the toe box stitching, which offers a touch of contrast. It all rests on top of the traditional black outsoles for a classic look and co-branding can be seen on the insoles to embody an overall sleek design language.
