From a chance encounter, Courtois Paris has today become an international benchmark for made-in-France millinery, crafting all types of headwear in its workshops in Normandy and Paris. Founder Marguerite Courtois tells us about her history and her determination to preserve the French savoir-faire of her Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV).

Janvier-Gruson-Prat, founded in 1840, embodies exceptional savoir-faire in the manufacture of metal stampings and buttons. Established in Savigny-le-Temple since 1992, this family-run business has stood the test of time while preserving its artisanal heritage, which we discover with its director since 2012, Dominique Gruson.
