What is the Living Heritage Company label?

The Living Heritage Company (EPV) label is a recognition awarded by the State to companies that possess exceptional industrial and/or artisanal know-how and manufacture their products in France.
It was in December 2016 that we had the privilege of obtaining this distinction for our unique artisanal know-how and our commitment to passing it on. The EPV label is also a certification of French manufacturing, a balance between innovation and tradition, and the high performance of our leather goods craftsmanship.
When you buy an Ateliers Fourès product, you are buying an EPV-labeled product, an artisanal product, made in France, with rare expertise.
This recognition is the culmination of our investment in offering you quality products that respect our values of reasoned production and the transmission of local heritage.
We also work whenever possible with EPV-labeled companies, as we know that they share these same values. We currently count 4 EPV-labeled suppliers.
Please be aware that we are audited every 5 years to renew our label. For you, this is the guarantee that we are not changing our way of manufacturing, and that we continue to do everything in France and in an artisanal manner.
