Drôle de Monsieur works in collaboration with premium shoemaker Paraboot once again as the two imagine a new version of the Reims Loafer. The new look features nostalgic themes that are true to the work of Drôle de Monsieur and the craftsmanship of the French footwear imprint.
The loafer is made from smooth brown leather that is inspired by the wooden foundation of the iconic Committee Chair by Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret, who is the inspiration behind the new update. The toe and tongue reference the chair's cushioning as it has a yellow calfskin leather material as the accepting details. Overall, it has an earthy tonal palette to prepare for the Fall season among us.
