Blanchard Paris history:
The history of Vergez Blanchard tools began in 1823 when Mr Louis René BLANCHARD, cutler by trade, opened his first workshop in Paris. It was at this time that the company began to develop its range of leatherworking tools. The watchword of the day was the search for quality and excellence.
Vergez Blanchard, merging skills
In 1910, Louis Hippolyte Simonin known as "Blanchard", bought the Vergez company and thus formed the Vergez Blanchard trademark, recognized by the best-known artisans and master craft-workers today.
