JB Ander crafts shoes that withstand the test of time and become a part of your personal style legacy. Our brand is built on pillars of sophisticated style, heritage craftsmanship, and responsible business / manufacturing practices.
DESIGN
We honor the art of shoemaking by recruiting designers and industry experts who trained at prestigious institutions like Polimoda, Florence’s premiere fashion & design school founded by Emilio Pucci and now presided over by Ferruccio Ferragamo.
Our chief designers and development leads hail from both men’s and women’s specialties, distilling the most appealing and stylish aspects of fashion design into our products. Remarkable design should be universally appealing.
The most exciting part of designing footwear for men is the delicate balance between pushing the boundaries of style while maintaining a timeless elegance. We love challenging men to embrace new silhouettes that elevate their look while pulling inspiration from a classic, sophisticated aesthetic. JB Ander is dedicated to men who appreciate impeccable style and understated luxury, values that define everything we create.
Our design approach starts with men's foundational classics - loafers, slip-ons, and boots. From there, we reimagine the silhouette for a modern audience, blending an effortless vibe with a versatile, unisex appeal. We believe strongly that all-gender appeal isn’t just a trend—it’s a testament to how flawless craftsmanship and beautiful design can speak to everyone, regardless of gender. Anyone with impeccable taste will do a double take.
PRODUCTION
Our workshops also produce footwear and fine leather goods for top European fashion houses like Louis Vuitton, YSL, Givenchy, Dior, et al. The very same artisans and craftspeople these revered houses trust likewise meticulously construct every pair of JBA shoes.
We don’t take this privilege lightly. Our vision honors this heritage expertise and unrivaled construction methodologies while bringing to life our own bold brand identity. Learn more about our heritage craftsmanship HERE.
IMPACT
We appeal to those who want to make environmentally and socially positive choices as consumers. We’re not radical; we’re aware. We know that even incremental changes like responsible manufacturing can make changes for the greater good. Read more about our dedication to conscientious consumerism HERE.
