In Romans-sur-Isère, the shoe designer is redeveloping its historic site, investing in an ultra-modern production tool, which should be ready by 2025.
Clergerie‘s ambition could not be clearer: to become the world reference for made in France luxury shoes. Clergerie is now expanding worldwide, with boutiques in Japan, China and Germany. “The importance for us is to be visible and recognized across the globe. The most important thing is to improve the service to our customers and above all, we are happy when we please our customers,” says Jérôme Espinos, president of the French Legacy Group (The group was created in 2020 with the ambition to promote the made in France and owns the brands Clergerie, Heschung, Avril Gau and Violet Thomas).
That’s why the company is embarking on a complete overhaul of its production workshop in the Drôme Region. Development and production activities are separated ” Until now, the development of new models was done in the manufacturing workshop, which disrupted the production cycles” explains Jérôme Espinos. “Our goal is to move towards a 4.0 factory, with the implementation of an intelligent system, capable of self-assessment and self-correction, which is a crucial issue to turn the globalization trend to our advantage,” he continues. The company also plans to cut production into islands, reducing the manufacturing process by ten days, which represents an announced productivity gain of 10 to 15%.
In addition to its own brands, French Legacy Group is also counting on this renovated site to open up to other big names in luxury footwear. “Last spring, we initiated a collaboration with Gabriela Hearst, which entrusted us with part of its production. Mauboussin also trusted us with one of its models,” says Jérôme Espinos.
The last luxury shoe maker still present in the bastion of this activity intends to contribute to restore its credentials to the Roman shoe industry, which employed 5,000 people in the 1970s. Today, only about fifteen designers and a few hundred employees perpetuate this know-how.
