Hermès to open new leather goods workshop in Les Andelys

30/01/2026
Hermès has announced plans to open a new leather goods workshop in Les Andelys, in the Eure department of Normandy, creating up to 260 artisan jobs in the long term.

The Maroquinerie des Andelys will be built on a former industrial site and will further strengthen Hermès’ production capacity for leather goods and saddlery, all of which are made in France. The project reinforces the group’s integrated artisanal manufacturing model.

The new workshop will join Hermès’ existing Normandy sites in Val-de-Reuil and Louviers, with recruitment and training supported by regional partners. Artisans will be trained at the École Hermès des savoir-faire in Louviers, which offers an 18-month paid training programme leading to a recognised qualification.
