Bass Weejuns Womens Loafers

Few brands carry as much cultural weight as Bass Weejuns. Dig into the roots of the beloved penny loafer and you’ll find G.H. Bass — the brand behind Bass Weejuns — at the source. Unwittingly marking the beginning of one of the most iconic footwear legacies in history, Bass put a stylish spin on a traditional Norwegian farm shoe by adding a distinct leather strap across the saddle with a diamond-shaped cutout. The shoe was playfully dubbed “Weejuns” to reflect its Norwegian heritage, and so the world’s very first penny loafer was brought to life.

Bass Weejuns could very much dine out on the success of the penny loafer for the rest of time, but this is a brand that believes the best way to honour its heritage is to keep moving forwards. Bass Weejun’s women's loafers prove that great design is made for reinterpretation. With the introduction of hair-on textures, Mary-Jane remixes and chunkier builds, the brand continues conjuring up authentic ways to combine the classic with the contemporary. 

Timeless, yet somehow always ahead of their time, Bass Weejuns is staying put at the forefront of footwear. Shop the women’s collection below.
