More than a century of expertise

   In 1955, the company signs the first worldwide license of a leather goods designer: it is the beginning of a long collaboration with luxury brands and of the industrialisation of manufacturing: the first factory is implanted in Haute-Marne, in the East of France.

   The assortment of leather goods is expanded with leather goods for hunting and horseback riding. The workshop is equipped with a high tech cutting plotter. After our research department has designed and developed the models in CAD, each piece is cut on this state of the art device, which features a clever video projection system and a powerful plan suction force.
