Our leather made an appearance on the Champs-Élysées on 14 July 🤩
The traditional uniforms of the Santards and Navalais made a grand return during the French National Day parade, after an absence of more than 50 years: 650 bespoke uniforms crafted by the ABILIS GROUP ()!
🌿 Among them was a hand-crafted belt made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather. Its buckle features the historic symbols of the Armed Forces Medical Service: the snake, the mirror, and the oak and laurel branches.
We are proud to have supplied the leather for this historically significant uniform, and to be helping to keep such a rich heritage alive 🌿
Thank you to ABILIS for their trust, and to all the teams involved in this industrial and commemorative endeavour.
