Founded in 1891 in Limoges by Édouard Blanchard, J.M. Weston is one of the last great French shoemakers to master every step of its manufacturing process in-house. Each pair is the result of 150 individual handlings spread over two months of work, carried out by over 195 craftspeople in the Limoges workshops. The Mocassin 180, introduced in 1946, remains the house's ultimate icon: resoleable, built to last, and designed to be passed down. Shoes conceived as lifelong companions, far removed from planned obsolescence.
