Die Firma The Cobbler hat diese Linie von Anfang an verfolgt - wir fragten sie nach ihrer Geschichte und warum Leder für sie wichtig ist.

Can you say something about the history of your company or your work, what inspired you to enter this field?  

Well, I started at a very young age (16 years old) after meeting the shoemaker near my neighborhood in France (Lyon). I immediately fell in love with the smell of the leather, glue and noise of the different machine and the craftmanship that goes behind it. 

I then decided to quite school and get trained by Les Compagnons du devoir” a guild of craftmanship whose roots are dating from the middle age.  This is a very interesting time where I learned some important values and the importance of hard work and that what matter the most is the passion you put in your job!

We also offer a bespoke shoes services, which I personally take care of it. This is a process which takes approximately 4-6 months. We start from a white piece of paper with the customer and we build it from there, creating the shape, last color and stitching according to his desires. All together it involved 90 hours of work. It is of course entirely handmade.

How would you describe your passion for Leather and why is it such a unique material? 

One can never really understand completely leather. That is the beauty of it. People tend to forget that it brings all the history of the animal with it. Even if the hide is coming from the same farm and the same tanning process is applied, youll have two different leathers. And that is an infinite source of learning and surprises thats why it makes it so unique material to work with.

What does a consumer need to know about leather?

Care is the biggest factor when it comes to leather, a customer needs to understand what type of leather it is and what products to use on each to enhance its beauty during his life. 

Leathers can last for decades even century when given the proper care. Seek for guidance from the salesperson or your local cobbler. Depending on your usage, you might need it to give it a little bit of care every week.
