Cognac leather with handwoven side panels · Leather tassels and perforated apron border · Rounded toe

Cognac leather, woven side panels and paired tassels give this backless mule a rich surface and an easy slip-on shape. The centre of the vamp is a warm golden tone, framed by deeper brown burnishing towards the toe and opening. A perforated apron border follows the rounded forepart, separating the smooth central panel from the handwoven leather around it. Dark edging beneath the upper keeps the outline clear, while the open heel completes the relaxed silhouette.

Fit Confidence

⊞

The vamp and woven side panels provide the upper's hold; there is no lace or strap to tighten. A comfortable fit should avoid both excessive sliding and pressure over the foot. Backless shoes feel different from closed loafers, so consider how you intend to wear them and consult the Fit Guide using your foot measurements.

An open heel with a fixed tassel-loafer vamp

The rounded toe gives the forepart a soft outline, while the mule opening leaves the heel free. Check that your toes have room and that the heel rests completely within the footbed. Do not select a shorter size simply to create a tighter hold across the instep.

Why this handwoven tassel mule exists

This mule combines the decorative language of a tassel loafer with the freedom of an open heel. A smooth central vamp leaves space for the cognac colour and darker burnishing to show, while handwoven panels introduce texture around the forepart and sides.

Tassel Mule · Cognac Burnished Leather · Rounded toe

The perforated apron border connects those two surfaces, giving the rounded toe a defined frame. Tassels add a finishing detail without changing the easy slip-on structure. The design works with warm-weather tailoring and evening separates where a backless shoe can feel relaxed while still having a considered leather upper.

How do I care for these? +

Remove loose dust with a soft brush or clean cloth. Follow the care instructions for the specific leather and finish; suede, patent, patina and two-tone uppers may need different products. Test any suitable cleaner, cream or conditioner on an inconspicuous area first, and use separate clean applicators on contrasting colours. Condition only when the leather and finish need it, rather than on a fixed schedule. Let damp shoes dry naturally away from direct heat. Contact Handsole before attempting recolouring or using a treatment whose compatibility is uncertain.
