DBB1 sneakers from the French fashion house Lanvin
Lanvin's DBB1 sneakers are seen on everyone, from CFOs in Silicon Valley to the so-called 'Stockholm style' in Scandinavia, and not least by colleagues at our own office here at Care of Carl. The shoe model has become a classic icon since its debut in the early 2000s.

Lanvin, the French fashion house founded in Paris in 1889, is one of the oldest French fashion houses still in operation. The founder Jeanne Lanvin's French motto, 'le chic ultime,' stands for elegance and sophistication, which is exactly what the DBB1 shoes express.
The DBB1 model is an iconic and timeless cornerstone in Lanvin's men's wardrobe, reinvented each season with new details and colours. The model is characterised by its glossy toe cap, adding extra elegance to the timeless and classic sneaker design in suede finish. Classic yet casual, this sneaker offers a contemporary and modern look. At Care of Carl, we are exclusive retailers of the brown and charcoal grey model, available in limited edition with us.
How To Style the Patent Cap Toe Sneaker?
The shoes offer the great advantage of being wearable with almost any clothing combination. Pair them with jeans for a casual look or dress them up with tailored trousers and an Oxford shirt. They are an everyday favourite in almost every fashion enthusiast's wardrobe. In the video below, we've styled the shoes in a simple combination of jeans and a t-shirt.
