Ramon Cuberta, the art of hand - made shoes

By walking around in the small streets of Born area in Barcelona, I found out this small and climatic workshop, where the magic happens...

Meet Ramon Cuberta, architect who by the time found his passion for men's shoes. He learned how to make this beautiful craft thanks to the best shoemaker in the world, Jonathan Hunter Lobb and from one of the biggest John Lobb's Masters, Mrs.K.Janiurek. In fact when Ramon was talking with Jonathan, on the table where they were sitting, he saw the horns of Pyrenean Ibex, which later became inspiration for the logo of this brand.

Values which are describing his product are quality,durability and simplicity.

First, what catches the attention is the shop itself, everything inside is designed in the old way, then when you get inside and meet Ramon, you discover his passion and how interesting person he is.

The craft man explained me the difficult process of making his art, from the beginning of trying and measuring the foot, choosing design, the technique step by step, until the final product. It takes 1 month to finish one pair of shoes because Ramon makes each of them carefully, by hand with the best leather from France and Spain which make them unique. The prices are starting from around 1000€.
