Made in France is a selection criterion that is important for a certain number of you who read us.
In this article I offer you a list of brands combining style, quality and French manufacturing (on all or part of their collection).
We also talked about made in France in the following content:
Ready-to-wear
1. Surveyor
A very beautiful high-end French workwear brand.
"Beautiful materials and French manufacturing combined with low production volumes inevitably result in a high sales price. [...]
The label deliberately remains in the shadows, but it is possible to find products on sale at very attractive prices, so keep an eye on them!"
I'm melting over these corduroy cargo pants, available at Rendez-Vous Store .
2. Bertrand Workshop
The brand is mainly known for its luxury quality leather jackets starting at €1000 (where a similar product costs several thousand euros elsewhere).
You will also find some leather goods accessories (belts, card holders).
A complete test of the brand was carried out by Nicolò .
Leather is expensive and we recommend you invest the necessary amount for a leather jacket.
3. Blue of Paname
Another French workwear brand, created in 2009. You will therefore find work jackets, cargo pants, parkas, thick flannel shirts, etc.
The brand has a denser collection and is more widely distributed than Arpenteur.
The entire collection is not made in France and the brand unfortunately does not say the country of manufacture on each product page. It's a shame.
4. Good Quality
A beautiful French brand, in a relaxed and chic style, with careful work on the style and cuts.
De Bonne Facture mainly uses high-end Italian and Japanese materials and works with French workshops specializing in the production of high-end clothing.
The prices are accordingly, and a little lower during sales periods, whether on their e-shop or at distributors.
Length, fullness, texture, seasonal colours... a silhouette typical of the brand.
The entire collection is no longer made in France, as was the case at the beginning of the brand: some knitwear is now made in Italy for example. The brand clearly indicates this information on its product sheets.
5. Fyu Paris
Fyu is a small, fairly confidential Parisian brand that makes shirts in France in beautiful textured fabrics, at a reasonable price for this level of quality/style/making.
6. Laetitia Modeste
A young brand created in 2018 which offers creations made in France with French fabrics.
The collection currently consists of a few coats, a sweater and a hat.
A beautiful approach therefore, with beautiful materials and some bold style choices.
I presented the brand's long coat in this article .

7. Cornichon House
Maison Cornichon offers t-shirts and sweatshirts made in France on vintage knitting machines dating from the 1950s, giving cachet and character to the pieces in their collection.
This is the kind of visual and textural material you can find.
8. Tower Knitting
Tricot de la Tour is a French knitwear clothing workshop that has its own brand: Moulin Neuf.
Nicolò presented four t-shirts from the brand in his nuggets .
Due to its brand/workshop status, the prices are very affordable.
The brand also offers sweatshirts as well as clothing for women and children.
9. Vetra
Brand created in 1927 and which offers work jackets made in France, very robust.

Jeans
1. Norman Venice Workshop (AVN)
AVN offers jeans made in Normandy from fabrics from the Italian spinner Candiani, from whom we obtain some of the fabrics for our jeans and whose factory we visited .
3 cuts (fitted, semi-fitted, straight) and 2 colors (raw blue, black).
The brand also offers some ready-to-wear clothing (shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts), also made in France.
2. Tuffery Workshop
A brand of jeans made in France that we tested in 2015 , the range of jeans has since expanded, with the creation of more high-end models.
The brand has also developed some more original jeans, including a model in 100% hemp and another in 55% cotton / 45% wool (French):
3. Dao Davy
Dao is the brand of one person, Davy Dao, who created his own jeans manufacturing workshop in Nancy.
" After several years of research and successful crowdfunding, the brand has developed and refined its offering while remaining on a human scale.
Today, Dao makes quality artisanal jeans in front of passers-by in its store in Nancy. The brand is transparent about its products and offers a lot of content to inform consumers: clothing care, ethics, environmental impact, interviews, etc. "
Michel had the opportunity to present to you a pair of jeans from the brand, in linen :
Shoes
1. Heschung
A brand founded in 1934 and initially specializing in work shoes, Heschung is today a brand recognized for its reliable and robust shoes.
The brand produces some pairs in France, some in Hungary.
If you are interested in a pair, we invite you to contact the brand to find out where it was made.
Jordan gave a more detailed review of Heschung in this article .
2.Jacques & Demeter
"If you want to buy Made in France, buy Jacques & Déméter. It's well made, it's beautiful, it's durable. The leather is full grain aniline, the assemblies GoodYear, Blake or Norwegian (depending on the model, the use and the desired aesthetic) and the leathers come from the tanneries of Puy and Annonay.
It's worth the price. It doesn't exempt you from looking at the leathers carefully and being critical, but even in this case, the customer service is attentive, available and honest."

Also, don't hesitate to take a look at the Jacques&Déméter blog (run by Maxime, the founder of the brand) if you want to learn more about the world of shoes.
I particularly encourage you to read the article on walking folds, which deconstructs many clichés at this level. .
3. JM Weston
Weston is legendary in France and around the world. We must pay tribute to the golf models, moccasin 180, demi-chasse, chasse, triple sole and the famous Cambre boot (made from a single piece of leather) [...]
It is also a brand that does not rest on its laurels and does not hesitate to energize its legendary models by reinventing them: I am thinking for example of the 180 moccasin available in Klein blue and many other things. [...]
Weston's great strength is to offer its models in several forms. [...]
Some voices have recently been raised to denounce the decline in quality of the brand. We, at BonneGueule, have not had this experience in practice and salute this century-old brand with remarkable know-how.
4. Kleman
A brand created in 1988 and specializing in work shoes, Kleman offers a collection of shoes made in France with fairly raw, workwear shapes.
If you are wondering about the prices, they can be partly explained by the fact that the shoes are glued (no GoodYear or Norwegian stitching here) as well as the use of leather which is not very high end.

5. Paraboot
" Great know-how from this French brand which manufactures in France with French leathers (for the most part) . There are no rectified leathers at Paraboot: no synthetic coating on the leathers to hide the defects.
The finishes are beautiful and the assemblies solid, in short, durable shoes .
In fact, I have seen some pairs made in Spain , especially the boat shoes.
The iconic “ Michael ” model, which does not leave you indifferent.
Accessories
1. Archduchess
We mainly appreciate Archiduchesse for its range of socks: the choice of colors is extremely vast, and you will easily find the model that will suit your use or your preferences. [...]
Made in France, the re-meshing is well done and gives the socks a good hold. [...] The Oeko Tex certification of the cotton (without substances harmful to the skin or the environment) is also a good thing. [...]
As for their prices, it is quite reasonable considering the quality of the manufacturing and the place of manufacture.
The brand also offers socks and tights for women.
2. Private Workshop
The brand mainly offers accessories (belts, gloves, scarves, card holders, etc.), basic but not too much, in pretty materials and all at a fairly reasonable price.
The country of manufacture is clearly stated on each product sheet.
3. Blue of Chauffe
The brand offers very beautiful bags made in France in leather and/or cotton canvas, with an adventurous spirit.
The leather is of excellent quality and ages very well , it will acquire a patina with use and become truly unique.
Bleu de Chauffe also offers leather accessories (belts, wallets, etc.).
The quality is obvious once you have the product in your hands.
4. Leon Flam
If you want bags or accessories made in France with a slightly more urban, chic style.
I really like the contrast of materials and colors on this model.
5. Missegle
The brand was introduced to you with a pair of socks by Michel here .
Missegle offers a selection of underwear made in France in many natural fibers (merino wool, silk, yak, cashmere, etc.).
Very warm socks, made in France.
