Robin Carlo, Co-Founder of Lennertson / Refined Rugged Footwear

Co-founders Robin Carlo and Robin Todde have been friends since high school and creatively collaborating ever since. Lennertson is made up of the countless people who contribute to their vision. Be it their lastmaker in England, the craftspeople in Spain, or you who wears their shoes. Lennertson shoes are made by craftspeople who've perfected their trade over generations. All leathers used come from European tanneries, and shoes are constructed using the durable and traditional Goodyear welt method. This makes a pair of Lennertsons your trusted companions to take on the world's pavements for years to come. Rugged and Refined  is their mantra, and this dictates the choice of shape, proportion, patterns, and materials they use.

In this episode of the MenswearStyle Podcast we interview Robin Carlo, Co-Founder of Lennertson about his background and the story behind the shoe brand which makes refined footwear for the rugged individual. Peter Brooker and Robin talk about why he turned to the shoemaking industry, who the Lennertson customer is, how they funded the brand launch, the meaning behind the brand name, shoe manufacturing, shoe design, and what's next for Lennertson.
