He then decided to start from scratch and create his own beret manufacturing company, in his birthplace: Béarn! Dozens of workshops were established there, but they all suffered the harmful effects of globalization and closed one after the other.
“In November 2012, when the first machine arrived at the factory, there was still no electricity. Quickly, we organize ourselves during the first months, the tests are numerous to arrive at the perfect size, elasticity, quality and touch »says Nathalie de Mauduit, international director of the company.
The small team made up of enthusiasts then launched the standard beret, then its premium version, the fashion beret, which is distinguished by its red cap (the tip). Today, it is available in 24 colors, adult or child, not to mention a wide range of fantasies.
In September 2018, the Béret Français, recognized as a Living Heritage Company, moved to larger premises in Bayonne, in order to develop its production capacity and meet growing demand. The company is also happy to welcome visitors, in order to share the know-how and passion of its team.
