Berthe in BIBA Magazine!
If this name is still foreign to you, it is because you have missed a brand that is worth knowing. Why? Because Berthe Aux Grands Pieds, in addition to being part of the Made in France trend, is the reference brand for chic, creative and elegant socks and tights .
Berthe Aux Grands Pieds: the genesis of a French success story
Already, the name sets the tone. "Berthe Au Grand Pied" was none other than Bertrade of Laon, the mother of Charlemagne and the wife of Pepin the Short, you know, the one who supposedly had one foot bigger than the other (a defect also attributed to other queens in history). It is ultimately without much surprise that the brand lives up to its name because the products are simply majestic.
The concept was born from the adventure of its founder, Régis Gautreau, with a strong commercial experience anchored in the world of markets and creations, the brand was born in 1999 when Régis gave birth to his original creations by relying on the exceptional know-how of the Perrin SA factory, a historic partner of the brand since 2003. They then launched their first collection of six models of mid-socks for women. And the success was immediate!
Since then, there has been the marketing of tights, stockings and knee-highs by a specialist French company located in the Gard, of “Berthes Shoes”, these slippers for babies, children and adults made in Charente, of gloves and mittens which come from the Oise and of sweaters made near Nantes.
In short, a brand that has managed to draw from the four corners of France all the know-how and expertise of an artisanal tradition revisited with creative, chic and fanciful airs.
This 100% French brand is therefore the perfect illustration of a local success story which has made the bold choice of quality, proximity and reliability.
A unique universe, high-end quality
As Régis points out, Berthe Aux Grands Pieds is above all a personal and human affair. A true enthusiast, all her collections are imbued with reflection, tradition, originality and modernity. A mixture of touches that are both classic and offbeat, it is a whole unique universe that you put on.
Elegant, chic, whimsical and sometimes even a bit sexy, what we liked is that there is something for everyone. Indeed, the brand is aimed at everyone, young women, older women, men, and even the little ones.
When it comes to quality, Berthe is not left behind. The know-how of its partners, the choice of raw materials and the excellent expertise in the field make the brand's collections the gems of the underwear world. Comfort, resistance, soft edges, noble materials, thermoregulating effect, everything has been carefully thought out to offer a high-end product, a sort of elegant second skin. An unrivaled quality that hides behind an assertive style.
