Leather from the Tannery at the Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week has just come to a close, and to mark the occasion, students from the IFM’s Master of Arts programme unveiled their final designs. We sponsored the very specific need of Enrico de Marchi, who created an ambitious XXL bag in the shape of a horse saddle with cowboy details that we love.

The top of the bag is made from ‘Colorado’ full grain black velvet. It’s a new design based on her idea.

It was a wonderful meeting that took place at the Les Tanneurs Français trade fair, held last September at IFM Paris. What a pleasure to meet such inspired and talented students!

Thank you Enrico and Matteo for your professionalism, your trust and your kindness.

[1864 – 2024] 160 years of the Tannery

In 1864, Victor Grosjean began operating a corroierie. A few years later, his son Auguste Grosjean had a mill built to grind wood bark, which was used as tannin for leather, on the site of the current tannery. To power the mill, Auguste used the water power of the Couard stream, which runs through the area formerly known as Pré de la Scie. He quickly developed an integrated tanning process using river work, tanning barrels and pits inside. Specialising in smoothed leather, particularly for the army in 1914/19, the tannery expanded… Here’s an image of an advertisement from the time, preserved in our archives.

To celebrate its anniversary together, we will occasionally open a page in the history of this place.
