Moreschi shoes are traditionally comfortable: we recommend choosing one size smaller than your usual size

Limoges Patent is a men's ceremony slip-on in black patent leather with a grosgrain band, crafted with Blake construction and a leather sole. It's a shoe designed for important occasions — black tie, galas, formal events where footwear is an integral part of the outfit and cannot afford imprecision.

Black patent leather guarantees a glossy, uniform surface that reflects light continuously, without matte zones or tonal variations. The grosgrain band — a ribbed fabric with a textile texture — adds a discreet accent across the upper, evoking the tradition of men's evening footwear without replicating it literally. Blake construction joins the components with an ultra-fine, near-invisible thread: the shoe appears built in a single piece, with no discontinuities. The flexible leather sole completes the model with the profile appropriate to ceremony wear.

Limoges from the Moreschi Heritage Footwear Collection is the natural choice for those pairing black tie and seeking a shoe that responds with the same formal care.

Limoges is the French city of porcelain — materials brought to their highest luminosity through firing and care. A reference that belongs naturally to a shoe whose primary quality is the perfection of its surface.

For a patent leather ceremony derby, the Moreschi range includes Lille. Those looking for a formal calfskin Oxford for less strict occasions can explore our Patent Leather selection.

Care

Patent leather is coated with a layer of polyurethane or lacquer that produces its mirror-like surface. This coating is what delivers the high shine — and also the most vulnerable component, sensitive to scratches, heavy waxes, solvents and prolonged contact with hard surfaces.

For regular care:
1. Clean the surface gently with a soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry immediately with a clean dry cloth to prevent the formation of watermarks.
2. To restore shine, occasionally use a product specifically formulated for patent leather — free from waxes, solvents and oils that could damage the coating.
3. Never apply shoe cream, wax or solvent-based products: these are not compatible with patent leather and can permanently alter the lacquered finish.
4. Avoid prolonged contact with hard surfaces or dark fabrics that may transfer pigment. Store away from heat sources and high humidity, with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to preserve shape without lateral pressure on the upper.

For deep scratches or uneven loss of gloss, consult a professional specialising in patent leather footwear.

Blake construction

The Blake construction is used for shoes with leather or rubber soles and ensures a secure bond between the upper, midsole, and outsole. After an initial phase of gluing and pressing, the sole is further reinforced with a single stitch made using a specialized Blake machine, which fastens the bottom of the shoe directly to the upper.

The result is a solid yet flexible shoe, ideal for refined everyday wear.
