Bobbies

Updated: September 11, 2026

Bobbies is a Paris leather goods label selling women’s and men’s shoes, from ballet flats and mules to heeled sandals, loafers and espadrilles, alongside leather bags. The range is handcrafted in Portugal and Spain and sold direct to a worldwide audience through a custom-built storefront.

Website Design

An off-white ground with near-black type. Pages run on a warm off-white background (the Bobbies wordmark and body copy sit in a near-black #232323) rather than pure white, giving the site a softer, paper-like base.

Sofia Pro for reading, Didot for identity. Body text, filters and buttons use Sofia Pro, a plain grotesque sans, while the “bobbies” logo, product names in the buy box, and section titles switch to Didot, a high-contrast serif set in uppercase with wide letter spacing.

Editorial lifestyle photography. The homepage leads with a large photograph of a model on a red velvet-toned scene under the handwritten-style line “From Montmartre with love,” and product grids mix worn-on-foot shots with flat product photography rather than showing only studio images.

Shopping Experience

A dense, image-forward grid. The women’s shoe collection lists items in a four-column grid, each card showing the style name, colorway and price with a heart icon for wishlisting, and multiple colorways of the same style (for example Ballet Flats Orsel in Flamenco red, Milk, Rockies Brown and Baby Blue) appear as separate cards.

A detailed product page. The Orsel ballet flat page opens with four images including an on-foot lifestyle shot, then lists color swatches, a size grid with restock click-to-notify, a sizing advice note (“order half a size bigger than your usual shoe size”), an Add to Cart button and a separate in-store availability check.

Klarna installments at the buy box. Below Add to Cart, the page offers 3 interest-free payments through Klarna, plus a line stating free returns and taxes and duties included on all orders.

Account-first checkout. Checkout opens on an account step offering continue with Facebook, Google or Apple ahead of a guest path, then proceeds through address, shipping and payment sections, with a persistent cart summary and promo code field on the right.

Brand Storytelling

Craft details surfaced on the product page. A Description accordion lists specifics like “Handcrafted in Portugal,” “Crumpled patent leather exterior (tannery: Spain)” and “Leather lining,” putting sourcing detail directly next to the buy box rather than in a separate about page.

Traceability as its own section. A dedicated “Traceability & Recyclability” accordion sits alongside Description and Shipping & Returns, giving material origin equal billing with sizing information.

Notable Features

A named “You will also like” carousel. Product pages close with a horizontal scroll of five related items mixing the same shoe in other colors with adjacent accessories like belts.

Threshold-based free delivery. Free delivery applies on orders over 200 in the shopper’s local currency (shown as GBP 200 or US$200 depending on region), stated consistently in the footer and at checkout.

Multi-channel support links. Contact options list email, WhatsApp and phone together in the footer, rather than routing everything through a single contact form.
