Hermès has announced the opening of a new leather workshop in Colombelles (Calvados, Normandy), which will create 260 artisan jobs.
This marks the establishment of the brand’s tenth regional artisanal hub by 2028, continuing its commitment to increasing its production capacity in France.
The new Maroquinerie de Colombelles workshop will support Hermès’ leather goods and saddlery collections, reinforcing its artisanal model focused on quality, durability, and innovation.
The workshop joins three other sites currently under development in L’Isle-d’Espagnac (Charente), Loupes (Gironde), and Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes). It will become Hermès’ twenty-seventh leather goods workshop in France since 2010.
Hermès continues to focus on local employment, collaborating with the Caen-la-Mer urban community, Normandie Aménagement, and the Colombelles town council. Recruitment efforts will be supported by the École Hermès des savoir-faire, the France Travail employment service, and various local partners.
The workshop will also provide training opportunities through the École Hermès des savoir-faire, which is recognised as an apprenticeship training centre by the French Ministry of Education. The initiative highlights Hermès’ dedication to education, sustainable development, and contributing to regional growth while transforming a former industrial site into a modern, responsible workspace.
