Specialist French leathergoods firm announces expansion

18/11/2013
Specialist leathergoods manufacturer Camille Fournet is to invest EUR 2.5 million in expanding and renovating its main factory in Tergnier in northern France.

Watch straps account for 90% of Camille Fournet’s output, with customers having the ability to choose the strap they want before the company’s leathergoods experts make it up. The materials commonly available in the range include cordovan leather, calfskin, ostrich, alligator, python, lizard and shark.

The company also makes bags for men and women and a range of small leathergoods. Around 90% of its revenues now come from outside France.
