Church’s celebrated the launch of the Portsmouth loafer with an exclusive experience along the British coastline, where historical architecture meets with breathtaking ocean views. Friends of the brand and talented guests were invited to explore the vibrant seaside cities of Southampton and Portsmouth, which inspired this quintessentially smart-casual shoe.

The gentlemen's gathering began with a fine lunch, followed by traditional outdoor activities that took advantage of the area's pale pebble beaches, piers, and lush countryside. The day continued with a traditional cream tea and an elegant dinner. Later in the evening, gaming activities and whiskey tasting added to the British flair of the event.

An easygoing design with a dynamic construction, the suede Portsmouth loafer joins Church's collections as the perfect essential summer shoe: a tribute to British naval tradition and the beauty of its coastlines, it exudes a laid-back charm while seamlessly blending aesthetics with practicality.
