Calfskin Monk Strap Jim Shoes

While the monk strap may have gained its moniker from its namesake monastic birthplace, the style first gained widespread appeal in the 17th century among the French aristocracy, who adopted the style for its practical finish and sleek hardware. Here, Bottega Veneta offers its interpretation with a minimalist single side buckle, creating a geometric line that traces the fold-over calfskin across the upper.
