Princetown Backless Embroidered Leather Loafers

Alessandro Michele's revival of original house codes is a hallmark of his creative direction for Gucci, and these black leather backless Princetown loafers are a striking example. They're made in Italy with the signature antique gold-tone metal horsebit plaque across the vamp, and are embroidered with a gold bee and start motif across the upper – symbols Michele has now licensed for the house. Wear them as the unstudied accompaniment to a printed blouse and cropped trousers.
