Baru Leather Loafers – Flat Summer
The Baru is a flat loafer designed for the seasons when the wardrobe lightens and the days lengthen. Crafted from genuine leather in Brazil, it carries the relaxed confidence of a summer shoe that doesn't try too hard — clean lines, considered proportions, and the kind of quality that makes a casual shoe feel like a considered choice rather than an afterthought.
Flat loafers are the workhorses of the warm-weather wardrobe — the shoe that bridges the gap between sandals and sneakers and does it with more elegance than either. The Baru leather construction develops a beautiful patina over a summer of wear, making each pair more personal as the months progress. Pairs with everything from linen shorts to wide-leg trousers, from city streets to weekend markets.
Handcrafted in Brazil by Mangara Atelier — a summer loafer worth keeping for every summer after.
Fit: made on a French last — slim and precise. Fits well if you have slim feet in your size. If your foot is on the fuller side of your size, we recommend going one size up.
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.
