John Lobb

John Lobb is a luxury men's shoemaker founded as a London bootmaking workshop in 1866, with a Paris boutique opening around the turn of the century. Hermès acquired the Paris house in 1976; the separate family-run John Lobb Ltd. still trades bespoke from St James's Street, London. Ready-to-wear launched in 1982 and is made at a Northampton, England factory using a roughly 190-step process. The range covers oxfords, brogues, loafers, boots and a made-to-order By Request service, alongside bespoke ateliers in Paris and London.
