Nestled beneath the arcades of Place des Vosges in Paris, the Maison Pourchet flagship store embodies the history of this iconic brand. Founded in 1903 by Auguste Gindre for his wife, the brand established itself as a renowned leather bag maker by 1920, driven by their daughter, Marcelle. Under Robert Pourchet's leadership in the 1950s, innovation was at the heart of the company, introducing revolutionary techniques in leather goods manufacturing. The 1960s saw the company's growth and the creation of numerous must-have bags, including the famous "Croco" bag and the Madison canvas of the 1970s. Taken over in 2004, Maison Pourchet continues to reinvent itself, offering collections that skillfully blend tradition and modernity, while asserting an elegant and on-trend Parisian style.
