ESSEN × WHITE STORY

Two ESSEN signatures, reimagined in colourways exclusive to White Story.

A considered wardrobe starts with the pieces that ground it. The ones reached for instinctively, worn often, and built into the rhythm of everyday dressing. Shoes that don’t compete for attention, but quietly shape the entire look around them.

Created exclusively for White Story, these colourways reflect the natural dialogue between the two brands. A shared appreciation for simplicity, craftsmanship, and pieces designed to live beyond a single season. The Shearling Foundation Flat and Modern Moccasin are made to slip easily into a wardrobe and stay there, worn often and styled intuitively.

The Foundation Flat

The Foundation Flat has become one of ESSEN’s most loved silhouettes for good reason. Soft, understated, and endlessly wearable, it’s the kind of shoe that quickly becomes part of everyday life.

For White Story, the silhouette has been reimagined in exclusive shearling finishes that mirror the warmth and tonal softness found throughout the White Story wardrobe. Worn with denim, crisp shirting, relaxed tailoring, or layered knitwear, it brings texture and ease to winter dressing without ever feeling overworked.

The Modern Moccasin

The Modern Moccasin approaches the classic loafer from a softer angle. Handcrafted in Italy with a subtle square toe and low stacked heel, it feels polished yet relaxed, balancing structure with everyday ease.

Exclusive to White Story in Tan and Steel Blue suede, the colourways were designed to sit naturally alongside the White Story palette. Tan adds warmth to cream, chocolate, and washed denim, while Steel Blue introduces a cooler note that still feels quiet and understated.

What connects both styles is the feeling they create when worn. Ease without compromise. Thoughtful shapes, tactile finishes, and craftsmanship designed to soften beautifully over time. The kind of pieces that become familiar in the best possible way.

Both styles run true to size. If you’re between sizes, we recommend referring to our size guide for the best fit.
