Tannerie d'Annonay



Our artisanal tannery based in the Ardèche region was founded in 1838. The tannery inherited its expertise from the Meyzonnier family who had been continually transmitting their knowledge down generations since the 19th century: they created a waxed finish for their calf leather and developed Tannerie d’Annonay over the years. Today, the recognized expertise of the brand allows us to offer all types of finishes such as distressed, grained and nappa in order to meet the high expectations of our clients.
