Bespoke men’s footwear is their game. Roberts&Hassett is their name.
Tucked away up winding stairs on Somerset Place is Captains of Industry. A floor devoted exclusively to men’s services. The Melbourne Gentleman can enjoy a coffee, a custom suit, a traditional shave and of course bespoke leather goods.
While enjoying an herbal tea, I snapped the duo working. Roberts & Hassett spend an average of 1-2 weeks on one pair. Each shoe is hand stitched, hand dyed, and made to order. These gents are in demand too with a six month waiting list for a custom pair of Roberts&Hassetts. Impressive for a studio a few months shy of celebrating their 3rd Birthday.
Satchels, belts, wallets, and briefcases are other leather goods the duo specializes in. And, women can be included as well. They may be known for men’s shoes, but Roberts&Hassett can customize a pair of shoes or boots for the Melbourne Lady…only no high heels!
