About BOHEMA
BOHEMA is a Polish family brand founded in 2018 by Sebastian and Wioletta Szypula. Every pair is handcrafted in our Kolbuszowa atelier (southern Poland) by Sebastian's parents: Edward, master shoemaker with 30 years of experience, assembles each pair; Halina, seamstress, hand-sews the uppers from plant-based leather. Three generations, one workshop, small batches.
Care
Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply the plant-leather cream included with every order over €200 every 2-3 months. Air dry away from direct sun or heat. Store with shoe trees or rolled paper inside to keep shape.
Sizing & Fit
BOHEMA uses European sizing 35-42. True to size for most feet. If between sizes, size up half — plant-based leather softens with wear but does not stretch significantly.

Questions about this product
What material are the Bohema Shiv Loafers made from?
The Bohema Shiv Loafers are made from plant-based leather, a vegan alternative to traditional animal leather. BOHEMA uses innovative materials such as cactus leather (Desserto) and grape leather (Vegea) across their collections, making the Shiv Loafers a fully animal-free choice without compromising on elegance or durability.
Are the Bohema Shiv Black Loafers good for wide feet or narrow feet?
The Shiv Loafers feature a classic moccasin-style construction, which typically offers a relaxed, slightly wider fit around the toe box. They are well-suited for people with normal to slightly wider feet. If you have very narrow feet, sizing down may help achieve a snugger fit. When in doubt, BOHEMA recommends reaching out before ordering to confirm the best size for your foot shape.
What occasions are the Bohema Shiv Loafers suitable for?
The Shiv Loafers are designed in an Old Money aesthetic, making them versatile enough for smart-casual and business-casual settings alike. They work beautifully paired with tailored trousers, wide-leg pants, or even midi skirts. Their clean black plant-based leather finish also makes them appropriate for evening events or office wear where a polished, understated look is needed.
How are the Bohema Shiv Loafers made, and where?
The Shiv Loafers are handmade in Poland in craft workshops, reflecting BOHEMA's commitment to slow fashion and artisan quality. Each pair is produced with care using plant-based leather, combining traditional shoemaking techniques with modern vegan materials for a shoe that is both ethical and long-lasting.
