John Lobb sent out an email recently with a link to images for the new “Saint-Crépin” model for this year. At first glance they’re a bit ordinary.
But now look at the top view:
Notice something different? They used one piece of leather cut into a spiral shape to wrap around a last to shape into a shoe. The concept itself is not new and has been employed by other artisan shoe makers, but so far John Lobb’s model above is the best looking one yet.
