Luxury group Hermès has laid the first stone in the construction of another of its new leathergoods workshops in France. By Leatherbiz.
The factory in question will be in the town of Loupes, about 20 kilometres from Bordeaux. It will open in 2026, ultimately employing 260 in-house trained artisans.
Hermès said this latest project reaffirmed its commitment to creating long-term jobs and transmitting leather know-how in the region and across France.
The company opened a leathergoods factory workshop in nearby Saint-Vincent-de-Paul in September 2021 and, two years later, Hermès opened a new training centre in the region.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
