Which makes me wonder about cobbler (the food). Anyway a cobbler is separate from a shoe manufacturer like the one in the Luis Vuitton video the second one.
A cordwainer (or cordovan) is a shoemaker who makes fine soft leather shoes and other luxury footwear articles. The word is derived from "cordwain", or "cordovan", the leather produced in Córdoba, Spain. The term cordwainer was used as early as 1100 in England. Historically, there was a distinction between a cordwainer, who made luxury shoes and boots out of the finest leathers, and a cobbler, who repaired them. This is the same sewing machine the guy was using in the Vuitton video. I found it online for sale; about $5,000
The work of a cobbler was similar to that of a saddle maker. They used lots of the same types of tools; awls, sewing needle various leather tools etc. Some of the machines in the video are pneumatic presses, and sander/grinders are made just for shoe repair or manufacturing. searching for a shoe makers knife I stumbled on this arbelos , math and geometry is always interesting and a stiching awl.
Here is an awesome blog for shoemaking
