Regular price $258.58Steve's Words:
The classic timeless black loafer a favorite of mine for many reasons, stands as a testament of versatility and style. This iconic loafer and colorway can be worn with anything and for any occasion. The staple of Chic-timeless into one shoe. This silhouette will compliment any ensembles; from suits, tuxedos, sport jackets, chore jackets, denim, chinos and shorts. The Lex in black enhances and elevates any attire. This is a must in anyone's collection and it’s the shoe that started my journey with Jacques Solovière Paris.
Origins
The Lex was created in response to the need for a summer iteration of the Alexis loafer. Its completely original sole, crafted from ultra-light micro-rubber, is cemented to the upper, making each shoe weigh less than a pound. Perfect for beach clubs or summer weddings, the Lex has become a seasonal essential. Its popularity has inspired expansions in suede, raffia, nubuck, and grained leather, offering a variety of elevated, warm-weather options.
Words from the designer
“The Lex is a shoe born from our dissatisfaction with existing summer footwear and soles. We made our own: light, stylish, and effortlessly elegant. It quickly became a bestseller, and we’re honored that so many customers have chosen it for weddings and other special moments.”

When exposed to rain, dry with a cloth as soon as possible. If severely soaked, put newsprint paper into the shoes to absorb water and prevent it from warping. Store in a cool dry place. High-temperature drying methods (i.e., a hair dryer) should never be used, which may cause the leather to harden, crack, or warp. Light stains can be cleaned with a dry cloth. We recommend you to use a cream.
PROPERTIES
Grained calf leather is valued for its textured surface, natural resistance to scratches, and soft, malleable structure.
Its visible grain gives each pair a unique character, while remaining supple and adaptable to the shape of the shoe. It is both durable and refined, ideal for everyday elegance.
CARE
Though more resistant to daily wear than smooth leather, grained calf is not water-repellent and can be sensitive to moisture and staining.
In case of rain exposure, gently pat dry with a soft cloth. If the leather becomes soaked, fill the shoes with paper (avoid printed newsprint) to absorb excess moisture and maintain shape. Let them dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use artificial heat sources such as hair dryers, which can cause the leather to harden or crack.
To maintain the leather’s suppleness and finish, use a neutral or color-matching cream polish. Apply with a soft cloth, allow to absorb, then buff gently.
We recommend using cedar shoe trees between wears to help maintain the shape and absorb residual humidity.
Store your shoes in their dust bags, in a dry, well-ventilated space.
