Res Ipsa's mud cloth loafers are made from vintage West African indigo mud cloth. Mud cloth - also called 'bogolan' - is one of Africa's most unusual and unique textiles. Each mud cloth is a unique creation: there is only one. We take these handmade vintage fabrics and add a durable leather sole and leather trim to create one-of-a-kind loafers that are comfortable and versatile to wear.

The process to make mud cloth is an ancient one. Narrow strips of handwoven cotton are stitched together into a whole cloth, then painted with patterns and symbols using a variety of natural dyes, including fermented river mud. As these cloths are handwoven, the thickness and weight are variable, but generally they are similar to a light blanket.

Details & Care:

• Leather sole with thin rubber heel.
• One-of-a-kind.
• Suede upper inner lining.
• Upper is 100% cotton. 
• Handmade In Marrakech.
• True to size, whole sizes only.
• Handmade trimmed in leather.
• Upper wool will stretch up to a half size so we recommend half sizes go down to the next whole size (e.g., if you are a size 9.5 you would order a size 9).

Res Ipsa products are made with love using repurposed fabrics. We believe that you get back what you put out. Please wear with care so that the product will last.

• Very durable.
