Mix of tradition and modernity
Leather work is ancient in France. It is moreover in the Middle Ages that the trade owes its official recognition, notably with the establishment of guilds of saddlers, the craftsmen who worked leather.The working of the raw material as well as the handling of the traditional tools have been transmitted until today in the form of the relationship between a master and his apprentice. Our craftsmen are then the direct heirs of this centuries-old know-how.
