TRIBECA Leather Cocoa Brown

Description

TRIBECA Leather Cognac Brown

TRIBECA is the shoe that you want for 2026. Handmade in Portugal from soft vegetable-tanned leather, it carries the same unhurried, all-day ease in a closed-toe loafer silhouette that works from September through spring without thinking about it.

The tassel is the same quiet statement as on SOHO. Enough to give the shoe personality, not so much that it needs an occasion. Wear them with jeans, tailored trousers, or whatever you threw on that morning.

Inside, the footbed does what all VIBAe shoes do: it learns your foot. The more you wear them, the more they feel like they were shaped for you specifically. The leather softens and gains character with every step, making each pair genuinely unique over time.

The kind of shoe that looks better at six months than it did on day one. Once you have one color, the others start making sense pretty quickly.

Care

Cleaning: Brush gently with a soft suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray regularly to protect your shoes from moisture and stains.

Drying & Storage: If they get wet, stuff with newspaper and air dry away from direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place in breathable dust bags to maintain shape and prevent moisture buildup.

Sizing

VIBAe shoes should feel snug at first and there is no need to leave extra free space at the end. The easiest way to put your VIBAe shoe into your feet is against the floor, push your foot all the way to the end, and only then bring up the heel.

Once you start wearing the VIBAe shoe they will stretch about half a size and the more you wear them the better they get.
