Sabah Shoes | Handmade in Turkey with Natural Leather

Introducing the limited edition, Texas-born Sabah x El Cosmico Baba -- a collaboration years in the making between Sabah & Liz Lambert. This style is inspired by the El Cosmico signature robe, featuring hand-painted stripes painted by El Paso local artist, Xochitl, in our El Paso workshop. The El Cosmico Baba's soles & insoles are made with full grain 100% vegetable tanned and undyed Italian bull leather, traditionally used for western equestrian boot & saddle making -- thick yet very flexible, particularly good at absorbing the humidity, whisking it away from your feet. Just as the upper and lining leather, the sole and insole leather will form to your feet and gain a rich caramel patina over time. The painted dye stripes are soaked into the leather, so these Babas will look really beautiful as the leather creases and ages, inviting the bright stripes to take on a bit of patina with wear as well. Perfect for a cool night of live music in the dessert, or dressed up for dinner in the city -- we hope you enjoy this special collaboration.

Ashmore Grey Shearling Baba (Mens)

Our first ever Velvet Baba, made in El Paso using Sabah’s standard of high quality materials — a combination of our veg tanned undyed leather lining and bull leather sole, and a velvet fabric upper sourced from one of the best velvet suppliers in Italy. This velvet is resistant yet soft, featuring a rich almost iridescent shade of green. We named it “Palazzo” with the greatness, yet simplicity of Italy in mind. You can wear these with anything — an effortlessly classic Baba that elevates a casual jeans-and-t-shirt look or something a bit more dressed up as we transition to Fall.

Palazzo Green Velvet Baba (Mens)

Our signature winter slipper is now available in all black. The Soho Baba features a two-textured leather upper, one part Nubuck and the other half a smooth leather. We use a soft, extra thick all natural shearling that envelopes and insulates your feet with warmth and a naturally tanned water buffalo insole. Our Shearling Babas are made to last, gaining a beautiful patina and forming to your feet with every step and use. They’re great with and without socks depending on how warm you want to be, useful around the house, the yard and even on the road. Now do your feet a favor, and get cozy in a pair ASAP! ** Note: There is a possibility that some of the black dye may transfer onto your skin, socks or clothing within the first few wears. The dye is not harmful and washes off skin easily. Please keep this in mind while wearing them, especially if wearing lighter colored socks or clothing. **

Fort Worth Brown Shearling Baba (Mens)

Baleen Blue is finally back, and for the first time ever available as a Baba. Our Baleen Blue is a thick, waxed Nubuck leather that ages beautifully and stands up to the elements. We've been making this Sabah since almost Day 1, because it's truly a classic, beautiful and sophisticated option. We've seen these dressed up with suits & dresses, dressed down with shorts; and everything in between.

Baleen Blue Baba (Mens)

This wintertime Baba is all about how it ages thanks to our use of undyed, vegetable tanned saddle leather. Just like it's unlined sibling, the El Paso Shearling Baba starts out smooth, light and bright and develops a rich, golden hue and takes on a gorgeous patina with wear. Vegetable tanning refers to an ancient leather tanning method which uses natural elements such as oak, spruce bark, quebracho, tara pods, olive leaves, rhubarb roots or in some cases mimosa. It’s been around for centuries but less than 10% of the world’s leather is tanned this way today. Sabah veg tan leather is thicker and tougher and will develop a buttery one-of-a-kind patina because of the natural tannins we use in the tanning process. In addition to the veg tanned upper, we also use a unique, vegetable tanned Italian bull leather sole, heel and insole, and a unique channeled, lock-stitched construction that is not common in modern footwear. Your Shearling Babas will break in with wear, stretching and forming to your feet to become uniquely yours. This process is what makes them so great!

This velvet is resistant yet soft, featuring a rich almost iridescent shade of blue. We named it “Bellagio” after the Italian village of Bellagio overlooking Lake Como.

Sage Shearling Baba (Mens)

The El Paso Baba is produced at the Sabah workshop in El Paso, Texas using a very special undyed, vegetable tanned upper leather. Lighter in color and smooth to start, the beauty of this Baba is how the leather patinas with wear, softening and becoming richer & darker in color. Vegetable tanning refers to an ancient leather tanning method which uses natural elements such as oak, spruce bark, quebracho, tara pods, olive leaves, rhubarb roots or in some cases mimosa. It’s been around for centuries but less than 10% of the world’s leather is tanned this way today. Sabah veg tan leather is thicker and tougher and will develop a buttery one-of-a-kind patina because of the natural tannins we use in the tanning process. In addition to the veg tanned upper, we also use a unique, vegetable tanned Italian bull leather sole, heel and insole, and a unique channeled, lock-stitched construction that is not common in modern footwear. Your Babas will break in with wear, stretching and forming to your feet to become uniquely yours. This process is what makes them so great!

They remind us of long strolls over cobblestone streets along the riviera-- styled both casual and sophisticated.
