Womens Oxfords

Zo.la | f. South African name meaning: Tranquil

Zola, meaning tranquil, is for a woman who is at peace with herself and her sense of style. Someone who is quietly confident and self-assured. Step lightly but make a big impression in this creative derby with a metallic-speckled bovine calf hair vamp and soft leather quarters. We love the juxtaposition between borrowed-from-the-boys classic styling and feminine, quirky detail.

• Made of local trophy-grade metallic leather
• Lined with soft, breathable cow suede leather
• Cosy cushioned insole 
• Vegetable-tanned leather soles
• Resin heel
• Made by human hands in Cape Town, South Africa

*The Zola fits like normal. It is normal for your shoes to fit slightly tight in the beginning. After a few wears, the leather will soften and mould perfectly to your feet.

Half sizes are considered custom orders and are available for purchase only on demand. 

*Each leather hide is not completely identical in texture and colour and therefore no two pairs of shoes will be completely alike. A part of the handmade process that we celebrate, as each pair is an original and yours alone.
