In 1947, Louis Bourgeois, facing an increasing demand from shoe and bagmakers, decided to become a leather dealer while France was recovering from WWII.

Then he started to develop an undisputable savoir-faire and to sell his top-shelf leathers to the well-known french manufactures.

This savoir-faire has been transmitted to several generations of leather-workers until today.

We have transposed our love for beautiful leathers and on-measure service by adapting them to the 21th century habits , while still working with the most beautiful shoe and bag manufactures.

This is with the very same enthusiasm that our teams keep flying worldwide to keep finding the most beautiful leathers.
