Cutting, gluing, coloring, marking and embossing are the watchwords of the leather goods division.
The Leather Goods Division, a fully-fledged business in women's luxury ready-to-wear!
The Leather Goods division, located at IFS (Calvados), appeared in 2018 in a second building separate from the one housing the Tailoring and Design/Collections divisions.
The expertise of the leather goods staff means they can respond to projects that differ from the Tailleur and Flou poles.
Lately, these different divisions have been responding to projects combining leather and materials such as cashmere or silk.
We call this “mix-cuir”.
Different crafts are practiced in the Leather Goods Division.
The leather goods division trades are :
Leatherworker
*
This job requires a high degree of versatility, as operators are required to work in several different positions: Threading - Dyeing - Trimming - Hand stitching - Slitting - Overstitching.
Prototyping
*
The prototypist shapes a piece of leather according to the customer's specifications, sketches and recommendations.
All these activities are carried out by employees with over 50 years of recognized know-how . This know-how is passed on to new employees who, over time, acquire the expertise needed to produce quality garments for customer projects.
The versatility they acquire also enables them to change jobs and produce garments at different stages.

The plus
Professionals
For each business sector, we have know-how that sets us apart from our competitors. We'd like to highlight the specific features of the Leather Goods Sector.
Trimming
Unlike slitting, which reduces the thickness of the material (leather...) over the entire surface, trimming thickens it at the edges to facilitate assembly work.
Threading
Threading is a leather marking process that can be either cold or hot. Cold marking is most commonly used on thick leathers. Hot marking is done with a filleting iron with a heated blade.
Slitting
This reduces and evens out the thickness of the leather. This can result in finer work and a lighter article.
