Braided shoelace manufacturer
A tradition in the Ambert region
The braiding of laces in the french Auvergne region is a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, and was once the occupation of the peasants during the long winter months.
In the 19th century, the lace makers became mechanised, taking over the hydraulic mills abandoned by the paper makers and using looms to braid the cords.
The jewel in the crown of the Maison Gauthier, the braided lace for shoes or corsets is still a flagship product, a testament to the know-how passed down from generation to generation.
Present today in many forms (flat or round, ribbon, plain or fancy laces), it adapts to fashion trends and is appreciated by designers of leather goods, sportswear, haute couture, lingerie…
We are a French manufacturer of quality custom laces for shoes and boots, made of polyester, cotton or nylon. We create a complete collection for ready-to-wear brands and fashion accessory shops. In partnership with the company Atiplast, we offer the fitting of aglets on our shoelaces by plastic overmoulding.
