Chic Cactus Leather Loafers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

G.H. Bass Launches Its First Non-leather Loafer and Its Stylish

— October 25, 2022 — Fashion
Luxury footwear brand G.H. Bass recently launched two pairs of cactus leather loafers—one for men and one for women—and this debut is a first for the brand's iconic Weejuns 90s silhouette. Incredibly stylish and timeless, the Weejuns 90s Penny Loafers are available in Black for both men and women. The brand has also included dark green and red colorways for men.

As a brand, G.H. Bass is known for "introducing the world’s very first penny loafer" and its designs have been worn by "presidents and Hollywood legends alike." With the world moving toward durable vegan alternatives to fashion staples, it comes as no surprise that G.H. Bass has chosen the cactus leather loafer to be its first 100% non-leather silhouette. The footwear is designed with Desserto®, an award-winning vegan material.

G.H. Bass' campaign was shot by Lauren Maccabee and styled by Luci Ellis.
