The shop
A first last at John Lobb
London, United Kingdom
John Lobb
A first last consultation at the John Lobb workshop in St James’s: a foot scan, the leather chosen and the last commissioned. Two nights in Mayfair around it, and the shoes follow over the next nine months.
While Notturno is by invitation, a code from the house is asked for when you confirm. No invitation yet? Request one.
