Students from Bezons, 15 kilometres from Paris, spent two days at leathergoods brand Hermès in mid-January seeing how the company’s artisans work and gaining insight into leathergoods savoir-faire, writes Leatherbiz.
Three people with leading roles in Hermès’s in-house training programmes, Giulia Madonna, Maya Cocheteux and Agnès Seba, hosted the high-school students.
Afterwards, Ms Madonna, said it had been a pleasure to meet the young people and try to pass on her passion for leather craftsmanship to them. She has been a leathergoods artisan for 13 years and, for the last four months, has been working to train new-generation artisans at the Hermès factory in Montereau.
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.
