Meet The Sabina in Black by Adelante, a lightweight penny loafer that delivers desk-to-dinner ease in a slim, modern silhouette. Handcrafted in Guatemala and made-to-order, this loafer is a sleeker, airier cousin of Adelante’s Sofía, perfect for everyday wear when you want polish without stiffness.
Materials & Construction: The Sabina in Black features a leather upper with a classic penny bridge, cushioned insole, and a low-profile sole for flexible, barely-there comfort. Streamlined Blake-stitch construction keeps the shoe ultra-lightweight while reinforcing durability in high-wear areas. The topline is carefully shaped to sit comfortably on the foot, and subtle stitching details add a refined finish.
Why It’s Good: Adelante crafts each Sabina to order, paying Guatemalan artisans living wages and avoiding mass overproduction. High-quality leather that can be cleaned and conditioned encourages long-term wear and potential resoling, while the understated design keeps it relevant across changing trends. Opting for one versatile, durable loafer instead of multiple short-lived flats reduces both clutter and environmental impact.
Style Notes: Wear The Sabina in Black with tailored trousers and a crisp shirt for a classic office look, or pair it with straight-leg jeans and a blazer for a smart-casual uniform. It’s also a great grounding shoe for patterned dresses, offering structure without competing with prints—a true workhorse loafer for a minimalist wardrobe.
