At De Grimm, responsibility is not an added narrative layered onto our products. It is the natural consequence of a local artisanal model, a commitment to time, and a fully controlled production carried out in Bordeaux since 1945.

Our leathers and components are sourced exclusively in Europe, within an approximate 1,200 km radius of Bordeaux. This choice ensures material quality, traceability, and compliance with demanding social and environmental standards.

The leather we use is a valued material derived from by-products of the food industry. Its durability and longevity make it a coherent choice for our vision of responsible leather goods, designed to stand the test of time.

Founded in Bordeaux in 1945 by Marguerite Massip, De Grimm is a family-owned house passed down through four generations. This continuity shapes our vision: discreet, durable, and independent luxury, far removed from fleeting trends.

Since its founding, the workshop, management, and strategic functions have remained in Bordeaux. This territorial anchoring ensures rare stability and a long-term vision of artisanal excellence.

Every De Grimm bag is crafted in our Bordeaux workshop by an experienced team trained in precise gestures that require years of mastery. There is no assembly line here, but a holistic approach to craftsmanship, where quality always takes precedence over speed.

Transmission, team stability, and respect for the time required to create a finely crafted piece form the foundation of our social commitment.

Our approach has been recognised and supported by regional and national programmes dedicated to craftsmanship, local production, and sustainability. These endorsements confirm the coherence of a model built on local manufacturing, skilled employment, and the preservation of know-how.

At De Grimm, responsibility is not a marketing argument, but a daily reality embedded in every manufacturing decision.
