About John Lobb
John Lobb makes bespoke and ready-to-wear men's shoes, founded in London in 1849. Hermès acquired the Paris business in 1976; the London bespoke shop remains separately owned by the Lobb family, so the same name covers two different companies. A bespoke pair from the London shop takes months and begins with a carved wooden last.
