Boots made for water

JOHN Lobb is launching its fall/winter 2017 collection that explores the nature of water, inspired by the River Nene and its significance to the history of bootmaking.

With a focus on flowing, uninterrupted lines, the workings and finishings of raw materials underline the collection. It also celebrates the vital link of nature and industry present in Northampton since the 16th century. Newly developed rubber soles, based on archival wooden lugs and paired with the distinctive storm welt, are featured throughout the collection.

A group of wholecut models highlight the house’s unique use of large pattern pieces, emphasizing the inherent quality of the leathers used. Complementing a full brogue duo, a recipe from the Bespoke archives named “Brun Lobb” has been unearthed and redrafted with meticulous care and collaboration between Artisans of the Northampton factory and Bespoke Atelier.
