Noble and durable materials expertly crafted in our artisanal workshop in Chauvigny. Authentic know-how that gives birth to timeless, robust and refined pieces.

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.

What is French manufacturing?

Thereproduction on French territorymeets strict standards established by European customs regulations. The manufacture of a product obtains this recognition when its main processing stages are carried out in France.

When can we say that a product is made in France?

An article legitimately displays the mention "Made in France"when 50% of its value was made on French soil by the manufacturer. This rule established by the customs services applies even if certain raw materials come from abroad without any particular mention or even marking of origin.

Our full-grain leather, vegetable-tanned in France, represents a major part of the value of the finished product.

Each stage of production, like a garment, follows a rigorous protocol: from the initial pattern design to the finishing touches, our leather craftsmen carry out all technical operations in our workshop. This complete mastery of the process guarantees the authenticity of ourFrench creations.
