Production takes 6 to 8 weeks: that’s how long it takes us to apply our expertise and craft high-quality shoes.

Expertise

Gatine,
simply stitched

Since 1957, we have been crafting our shoes using aspecific technique: the Kneipp(or Swedish)construction methodcombined with a double“Petit Point”stitch, ensuring their durability and repairability.

Gatine,
simply robust

Originally designed for agricultural workers, our shoes are made to be both robust and comfortable.

Some models have been produced since the company's inception, others have joined the range over the years, and some have recently been brought back from the archives.

Gatine, simply transparent

All of our models have been certified Origine France Garantie (Guaranteed French Origin). This certification requires two conditions: 

All production stages are carried out in France

More than 50% of the product’s unit cost is incurred in France. The unit cost includes raw materials, labor, and the costs associated with production (energy, facilities, machinery, maintenance).

Gatine,
simply passed down

Entirely crafted in our workshop by passionate artisans, each pair of shoes is the result of meticulous steps, acquired through time and patience.

The transmission of our expertise is a strong focus, and we implement it daily through both apprenticeships and the versatility of each of our artisans.

Gatine,
simply designed

Simple, timeless models that transcend trends and eras; a construction technique that makes them strong and repairable; carefully selected materials: this is our recipe for shoes that can be worn for a long time!

Gatine,
simply repairable

Our shoes are repairable! Despite daily care and the quality of materials, shoes naturally wear out. That's why we collaborate with a network of shoemakers, providing them with technical assistance and specific materials (soles, leathers, threads, etc.) to ensure the long lifespan of our products.

Gatine,
simply responsible

To ensure responsible production, we operate on a made-to-order basis. This method allows us to produce only what is necessary according to demand, which in turn guarantees material management committed to an ecological approach.

Located in a rural and agricultural region, our workshop draws inspiration from the values of simplicity and authenticity to meticulously craft these shoes in a friendly environment
