For more than 150 years, John Lobb has been defined by exceptional craftsmanship and a spirit of innovation. Deeply rooted in the Maison’s Anglo‑Saxon heritage, our shoes bring together meticulous handwork and the finest materials, selected with uncompromising care.

At the heart of our Maison are two iconic locations:

The Paris bespoke workshop, where every pair is crafted using time‑honoured techniques passed down through generations;

The Northampton Manufacture in England, where our ready‑to‑wear collections are produced with the utmost respect for materials and tradition.

Today, John Lobb is embracing renewal. We are evolving our codes, opening the brand to new sources of inspiration, and imagining a more contemporary expression of masculine elegance, always faithful to our heritage.

A subsidiary of the Hermès Group since 1976, John Lobb has a global presence with around twenty stores across Europe, the United States, China and Japan, as well as a highly selective network of authorised retailers.

Joining John Lobb means becoming part of a community of more than 200 colleagues - artisans, sales advisors and support functions. United, committed, and human‑scaled, our teams bring our excellence and creativity to life with passion every day.
