The criteria of a genuine French product

The recognition of aproduct made in Franceis based on specific criteria established by the European Union Customs Code. An item may display the "Made in France" origin marking when its last substantial transformation takes place on national territory.

To guarantee authenticity, labels like "Origine France Garantie" certify that at least 50% of the unit cost comes from France. Monébari meets these requirements by favoring short supply chains: our canvas is woven near Lille and our full-grain leather comes from tanneries that are primarily French.
