John Lobb shoemakers is one of the leading manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a core of the shoe industry in the 17th century. Although it became part of the Hermes Group in 1976, the factory continues to uphold the methods developed in the 19th century.
Modern machines are present but secondary. Specifically, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife striking the cutting table. With feather knives, they carve the leather by hand.
Production is carefully restricted, with only roughly 450 to 500 pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. Employees often handle many designs in a single day, instead of repeating one routine step like in assembly-line workshops. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing a leaky sole to be removed without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from young French calf hides. Only about sixty percent is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The range combines timeless classics with subtle refinements. The classic City II model, for instance, now feature a sleeker silhouette. The Sennen model gained longer straps and a reinforced sole. The Lopez classic, introduced in 1950, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth model and the Levah sneakers, which are released each season in various colors and materials.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb stands as a defining name in world-class shoemaking.
