Exceptional French shoes
In Beaupréau, in the heart of western France, Maison Corthay operates its own ready-to-wear manufacturing workshop — a rare asset in contemporary shoemaking. This self-managed production structure allows the brand to maintain full control over quality, precision and execution at every stage.
From cutting and stitching to assembly and finishing, each pair is crafted by experienced artisans whose know-how has been built over decades. This proximity between design, development and production ensures consistency, reactivity and a faithful translation of the brand’s creative vision.
More than a place of production, the Beaupréau workshop embodies Corthay’s commitment to preserving French craftsmanship while continuously refining its techniques. Here, tradition and innovation coexist — serving a single objective: to create shoes of character, precision and lasting elegance.

RESPONSIBLE COMMITMENT
In a world where the preservation of resources and the sustainability of local know-how are major concerns, Maison Corthay remains committed to a responsible and enduring approach to craftsmanship.
The brand favours long-lasting materials, works closely with trusted European tanneries and ensures that each pair is designed to stand the test of time — both in construction and in style. This approach naturally limits overproduction and encourages a more considered relationship to objects.
At the heart of this commitment is the transmission of expertise. Techniques such as Goodyear construction are preserved and passed on from craftsman to craftsman, ensuring continuity, repairability and durability across generations.
Beyond production, Maison Corthay seeks to create objects with meaning — products shaped by time, care and intention, designed to be worn, maintained and appreciated over the years.
