Double Monk Strap Sandals in Crocodile and Museum Calf
The "John Lobb Dubai" opened in 2008 within The Dubai Mall, a shopping center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Touted as the world's largest shopping center upon its debut, Dubai Mall also houses an aquarium, an ice rink, and 22 cinemas, making it a much-talked-about destination. As a tourist and financial hub aiming to be the "Hong Kong of the Middle East," it attracts global attention.
In terms of resorts, the city offers a lavish and glamorous lifestyle for celebrities, with the construction of massive artificial islands and a proliferation of luxury hotels. The "DUBAI" model was born from precisely this kind of socio-economic backdrop.
The "DUBAI" is a double monk strap sandal inspired by John Lobb's iconic "WILLIAM" model. Its adjustable double buckles ensure an ideal fit and comfort at all times.
Particularly noteworthy are the use of medium-brown crocodile and chestnut museum calf. The application of exotic leather to sandals, coupled with an exceptionally soft insole lined with lambskin, showcases the playful spirit inherent in bespoke craftsmanship.
Next week, we will introduce the "SEOUL" model.
