Our modern take on a classic penny loafer. Made by hand in a cherry embossed croc, the ELBA updates the timeless style with our signature notched welt, gold coin and angled leather heel. We’ll live in these loafers with everything from oversized suits or cuffed jeans to flowy dresses and statement socks.

Our shoes are made from the highest quality leather which will last season after season. Leather is a natural material and will give with wear.

  • 100% Italian leather in cherry embossed croc. This tannery is rated Leather Working Group Gold. Leather Working Group is a tool to evaluate the environmental performance of leather goods manufacturers.
  • Gold-plated metal coin in the penny keeper.
  • 100% calf leather lined
  • Leather notched welt
  • 0.75" flared leather stacked heel with sueded leather sole

This material may feel snug when you first put them on. This is normal as they begin to soften and form to your foot. Before you know it, they will become your everyday favorite.

  • Fitting true to size

Our croc and snake leathers are embossed and printed on a calf leather base. Thicker leather is required to create this embossing, making it more susceptible to peeling or chipping. Please handle with care as any damage cause to the print cannot be restored. Due to this technique, there may be variation in color and placement of the print. This variation is intentional and part of our sustainable ethos to avoid leather wastage.

To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth and dry immediately away from direct heat and sunlight. Please test the cleaner on a small portion of your shoe to ensure no discoloration before applying all over. We advise against using any cleaning products, as they will damage the leather. We recommend cleaning periodically or as needed to keep your FRĒDAs looking brand new.

The ELBA is hand-sewn in our San Salvador, El Salvador, family factory. Our Co-Founder's grandfather started manufacturing shoes 67 years ago, and our hand-sewn Moccasins are produced in a factory that her father started in the 1980s. This factory is one of the last hand-sewn moccasin factories in the world—a true testament to artisanal craftsmanship and passing down this skill from generation to generation.

    ELBA PENNY LOAFER 8 / Black Embossed Croc
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Chic and true to size

    This is my first pair of Elbas and so far so good. The black croc is adds subtle interest. I am usually a size 7.5-8 in dress shoes, and the size 8 Elbas fits well. The sidesof the shoe opening is a tad high for me, hitting the bottom of my lateral malleolus (the bone sticking out at the side of the ankle). This was a bit uncomfortable at first, but it seems to be softening as I wear the shoes more. Hopefully that will continue to break in and not be an issue. The bottoms are a little slippery, especially in New England winter, but hopefully traction will improve as I scuff them up more.

    Like no other

    I’ve never been a loafer person. My feet are semi-wide, and it’s always been challenging to find loafers that fit well. They often lack structure and are flimsy, which makes them uncomfortable and difficult to wear. However, these loafers have been an absolute game-changer. I actually look forward to wearing them. They don’t make my feet appear large, and their construction is simply fabulous. They’re incredibly comfortable, and I’m a huge fan.

    Absolutely obsessed!

    I had these loafers in my wishlist for a long time, and when the Black Friday sale came around I knew I had to take advantage. I really wanted the espresso color, as that is a harder color way to find, but I had a great in-store experience at the SF location & went home with the black pair. I’m glad I tried them on because they seem to run larger than anticipated, but they were so comfortable right out of the box. The one thing that kind of stinks is I’ve only worn them a handful of times and am already seeing a crease in the left shoe… but all in all I really love them and am still waiting for the espresso in my size to come back :)
