The Row Soft-Leather Loafers

The loafer's genesis traces back to the early 20th century, with origins potentially linked to Norwegian farmers or Native American moccasins. Initially conceived as a comfortable indoor slipper, they were first designed for King George VI. The design gained traction in America, notably among the Ivy League students during the 1950s and 1960s, a period that cemented the loafer's association with relaxed yet refined style.
