Muscoline Brogue-Cap Nagra Nagra for Men - Handmade Leather Nagra Shoes

Muscoline blends an Indian nagra with Western shoemaking. The throat is cut in a deep V, the way a traditional jutti is, but the toe carries a brogued chevron cap and the shoe stands on a stacked natural-leather heel. It sits between a festive jutti and a dress shoe - smart enough for a reception, comfortable enough for a long wedding day.

A nagra is a traditional Indian slip-on with a low, open throat - here cut in a deep V - that sits naturally under a sherwani, kurta or bandhgala. Built on a proper stacked heel and leather sole, it has the structure of a dress shoe with the ease of a jutti. It is built on a stitched leather sole with a stacked heel, so it can be resoled when it wears down. The full-grain calf is smooth and dense, takes a polish well and creases gracefully over time. Wear it with a sherwani, kurta-pyjama, Jodhpuri suit or Indo-western set for weddings, sangeet nights, pujas and festive dinners. Made by hand at Melodiapelle, it only gets better with wear and care.
