About John Lobb
For more than 150 years, John Lobb has maintained its founder’s unique expertise in the design and manufacture of men’s shoes.  

Custom-made shoes are still made by hand by the craftsmen of the Parisian workshop located on rue de Mogador, while the ready-to-wear collections are produced in the Northampton factory in England.

In addition to its production activities, the brand has a distribution network of some twenty directly operated shops in eight countries, as well as a highly selective network of authorised dealers.

A subsidiary of the Hermès group since 1976, John Lobb has over two hundred employees worldwide.
