Universal Works x Sebago Portland Suede Shoes

Designed in collaboration with heritage footwear brand Sebago these cream coloured Portland Suede Shoes area low cut style inspired by traditional moccasins and the proportions of bowling shoes from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Carrying Universal Work’s eye for detail and style, hand stitched detailing can be seen around the front of the toes whilst a removable tassel above connects to non-corrosive eyelets that hold colour matched leather laces in place. A woven label wraps around the top of the tongue and shows different Universal Work and Sebago branding across either shoe. An elongated lace detail continues around the top edge of the ankle and on the heel a lighter tone panel provides a base for further hand stitched decoration. A lightweight insole sits within the shoe with a decorative surface pattern for comfort and underfoot a wavered tread pattern provides reliable grip for everyday wear. With each pair a set of interchangeable tassels are included.

Arriving alongside Universal Works’ SS20 apparel collection which presents styles influenced by a road trip from LA to Sante Fe, the latest collaborative footwear capsule between the London based menswear label and Michigan based Sebago includes shoes that sit perfectly alongside the new season clothing and reflect a focus on quality and timeless style. Having been founded in 1946, Sebago is known for its iconic Penny Loafers and Native-American inspired moccasins so it’s no surprise U.W selected the brand to partner with to ensure premium finishes and a distinctive character.
