Featuring….
Just like the universal and timeless appeal of a great song, Johnny Was (by Bob Marley) designs clothing that cross cultures and defy trends. With a bohemian spirit and a true sense of authenticity, Johnny Was takes inspiration from anything that is beautiful, genuine and special.
Their signature embroideries and effortless silhouettes are unparalleled. After more than 30 years of artisan-inspired stitch work and luxe fabrications, the undying allure speaks for itself. For the woman looking to showcase her personal style, while appreciating the thoughtful details of timeless techniques. An aesthetic that embraces life with a global vision.
Johnny Was. Embrace the beauty, look beyond and enjoy the journey.

BUILDING ON A TRADITION THAT GOES BACK NEARLY 85 YEARS, WE LAUNCHED THE SAMUEL HUBBARD COMPANY IN 2014, ONCE AGAIN, AS A FAMILY BUSINESS.
We are offering shoes of the very highest quality using the finest leathers from around the world. Fit and comfort are paramount in our designs and we have returned to Europe to work with some of the finest shoemakers in the world. As the third and fourth generation of a shoemaking family, we follow in the tradition of producing shoes that people love.
In Samuel Hubbard shoes we make no compromises in comfort and craftsmanship. When there is a better method, we do it that way. When there is better leather or material, we use that. In presenting each new and innovative design, we honor our past and what we have learned over the past 85 years.
OVER THE YEARS MY FATHER OFTEN SAID THAT, “WE MAKE FRIENDS WITH OUR SHOES, ONE PAIR AT A TIME”. WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL AGREE AND THAT YOU WILL ENJOY MANY GREAT WALKS IN YOUR HUBBARDS.
