It is highlighted by an [elevated range of loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ellis-penny-loafers) that are represented by timeless style and artistry. The Monogram was first launched in 1939 as a collection of formal derbies, slip-ons, and brogues that offered a dressed-up alternative to the brand's usual work boots. For the Spring/Summer 2024 season, the brand features premium leather with a softer and rounder structure. The Monogram commits to craftsmanship as each pair is stitched by hand and has [flexible leather soles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penton-loafer) at the base for a premium and comfortable step. Additional details include the rubber heel taps for a sturdy finish and welt stitching. It is coated with a hi-shine coating and comes in a series of black, wine, and brown color options.
