SEBAGO

Founded in 1946 in Westrbrook, Maine by three New England entrepreneurs, Sebago built its name on a single idea: timeless American footwear meant to last. The first release was was the Sebago penny loafer, inspired by the popular Native American moccasin featuring patented welt construction. The brand gained worldwide recognition with the launch of the ‘Doscksides’ boat shoe in 1970, a nautical footwear staple. The Sebago name become synonymous with superior quality, timeless elegance and coastal heritage.

Sebago’s shoemaking traditional is their strongest value with a focus on premium materials and craftsmanship. It all starts from the material selection, where high-quality leather is carefully sourced for its shoes, ensuring durability, comfort and luxury. Often using full-grain and calf-leather, their shoes age beautifully developing a rich patina over time. The hand-sewn mocassin construction is their stand-out feature - a technique that creates a flexible and comfortable fit. Sebago shoes further undergo a ‘lasting’ process where the shoe is placed on a mould to hold its form, followed by finishing, polishing, buffing and edge control.

Sebago’s changes towards building a sustainable space is seen through the significant efforts of incorporating eco-friendly materials and responsible manufacturing prices. Leather is sourced from certified tanneries and grain leather is used which is naturally tanned. Waste minimizing practices are being incorporated across production to prioritize longevity. Customers are encouraged by Sebago to repair maintain their shoes, reinforcing the value of slow fashion and lasting design.

Sebago’s style remains timeless, preppy with a nautical inspiration. One of the brand’s most iconic design, the Classic Don Penny Loafer can be found at Velour – a shoe known for its sleek, polished and effortless look. Whether the purpose if casual or former wear, Sebago’s loafers are crafted to blend functionality with classical elegance
