The EPV label recognizes a know-how that we have maintained for almost 90 years. Obtaining this label is an unusual story. One of our clients literally couldn't find a shoe that suited her! We directed it towards tailor-made. After visiting our workshops to make her shoes, she suggested that we apply to the label, for which she works. We got it in 2011.

We have been present internationally since 1980. This facet is vital to our business because our products are not worn all year round. As for the label, even if it is awarded by the State, it is unfortunately not recognized outside our borders. If it is a guarantee of quality, we must always explain what it represents to our international retailers so that they put it forward.

Being a Living Heritage Company is the complete opposite of standing still. Every year, we start from zero for our collections. We offer nearly 300 models of sandals this year, and all of them can be declined in several colors. Imagine the number of possibilities!

I think the Made in France argument has won over a majority of our customers. This label has been put forward a lot in recent years, in particular by Le Bon Marché. And then, our EPV labeling is reassuring. But in all fairness, I think the success of our brand is due to both its authenticity, its creativity and loyalty to its identity.

My father never stopped innovating, it's in the DNA of our brand. We worked on our line of bags for two years before launching it. We wanted to stay true to our identity, to find our materials, our favorite colors and the Sellier stitch in our bags. We also had to find a workshop specializing in leather goods, because making a bag is not making a sandal, each one has their own expertise.
