An American shoe brand founded in 2022 by Joseph Pollard, a former Polo Ralph Lauren and RRL designer who built the label's first product, the Augie loafer, after wanting a tougher, more comfortable take on the Belgian loafers he'd worn around New York. The shoes are made by Mr. Marco's, a family-run factory in the Tuscan hills that's been making shoes since 1948 and is now in its fourth generation, American design, benchmade in Italy since the brand's first pair.
