ETQ ML 02 Full Suede Blueberry Mediterranean Suede

The ETQ ML 02 Full Suede Blueberry brings an uninterrupted suede finish to a refined mid loafer. The material continues from the upper down the sides and across the outsole, creating a unified Blueberry silhouette from toe to heel. Inside, full leather lining complements the softly textured exterior.

Slip it on with tailored trousers for a dressed-up evening or relaxed separates during the day. Suede that feels soft from the outset and memory foam cushioning gradually settle around the foot, lending a personal feel to this hardware-free design.

• Suede-covered outsole creates a continuous, single-tone appearance.
• Easy slip-on construction without laces or hardware.
• Designed in the Netherlands and handmade in Portugal by ETQ’s longstanding family-run factory partner.
• Mediterranean suede is soft from the first wear and adapts to the foot within the first week.
• Hand-lasted construction followed by two factory inspections.
• Between 20 and 40 separate components are assembled by hand in each pair.
• Removable memory foam insoles conform through wear and can be exchanged for fresh footbeds or personal orthotics.
• Full leather lining softens and takes the shape of the foot over time.
• Internal toe and heel reinforcement helps preserve the loafer’s shape through repeated use.
• ETQ’s recognisable square detail finishes the heel.
• Includes a reusable travel bag for packing and carrying.
• The white presentation box also serves as the shipping carton, eliminating a second outer box.

Mediterranean Suede is taken from the underside of the hide and sanded to form a fine, velvety nap. ETQ sources this material from Gruppo Mastrotto in Arzignano, Italy, an LWG Gold-certified tannery, and Sanchez Agullo in Alicante, Spain, an LWG-approved tannery. Finish, colour, surface and thickness are checked on every hide before cutting. A short, dense and uniform nap gives the Blueberry colour its depth, with individual character developing over time.

Brush the suede regularly, following the direction of the nap. Treat with a water-and-stain protector before initial wear and reapply after cleaning. If the loafers become wet, allow them to dry naturally before gently brushing to revive the nap.
