Angico Silver Leather Driving Loafers – Flat Penny Moccasins
The Angico is a driving moccasin, which is the reason it is the most comfortable shoe in the collection. The sole is not a flat piece of leather but a rubber sole studded with rounded pebbles that continues up the back of the heel, so the shoe grips, cushions and bends with the foot from the first hour to the last.
The silver is a pale steel metallic leather with a satin sheen rather than a mirror finish, which is what keeps it wearable in daylight. Underneath it is the same proper moccasin construction: the apron joined by hand around the toe with a thick, even stitch, the leather gathering very slightly at each stitch, and the penny strap across the vamp with its central slot and braided edge.
Silver is the cool alternative to a beige flat. It sits with grey, navy, white and black without warming the outfit the way tan does, and at flat height it stays discreet.
How to wear it
- With cropped trousers that end above the ankle, so the whole shoe stays visible.
- With grey or charcoal tailoring, tone on tone.
- With white linen in summer, when the shoe is the only shine in the outfit.
Size & fit: please read before ordering
Made on the same French last, cut slim and precise. If your feet are slim to average, order your usual size. If they're wider, we'd suggest sizing up.
A driving moccasin has no lacing and no strap to adjust, and the leather is soft enough that it moulds to the foot within a few wears rather than stretching indefinitely. If you are between sizes or have a high instep, take the larger of the two. If you are unsure, write to info@mangara.be before you order. It is faster than a return.

Wipe with a barely damp cloth only. Metallic finishes scratch more easily than plain leather, so never use an abrasive cloth, never use solvents, and let the shoes dry naturally away from any heat source.

There is no warehouse. That is rather the point, and it does have consequences.
Every brand here packs and posts its own orders, in its own boxes, with tracked delivery. The brands you can see are the ones that ship to your country, so your parcel is usually making a fairly short journey: a potter in Bristol posting to Britain, a studio in California posting within America.
Which does mean that an order from three brands arrives as three parcels, posted by three different people, on three different days. Whether that is an inconvenience or a small extended birthday rather depends on your temperament. It also means three lots of postage, shown before you pay, because we would rather mention it here than at the till.
Roughly how long
UK Domestic: 2–5 business days
Coming from further afield: 7–14 days. Usually quicker, but let's not prmise and it will be a lovely surprise!
Estimates, not promises. Each brand sends its own tracking, so you will be kept extremely well
Need help? Just ask.Our small team is here.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you have changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it back to us. No reason required, and we will not make you give one.
You are allowed to open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop, and we will not quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some cover it themselves, and if yours does you will not be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand.
A few things cannot come back, and only these: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we sort it.
Just email mail@brixbailey.com — we'll guide you through it.
