simontuntelder Report post Posted April 25, 2012 Hi fellow leatherworkers, I'm not sure, if this is the right place to post this, but I'm looking for a tannery in France, called Sueur Paris, but nothing comes up, when using Google. Does anybody know about it? Is it still up and running? How can I get in contact with them? Any help is much appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw their stamp on a piece of leather used by an Asian leatherworker less than a year ago. I have a hunch, that they are tanning horsehide and even cordovan. Which is why I'm searching quite intensely for some contact information. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you remember if it said "Paris, France" because there are other towns named Paris.... one of them is in Texas, USA. I also wonder if it isn't actually produced in a French speaking country rather than France. Just some ideas to aid in your search. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha :-) From having seen the movie ParisTexas by Wim Wenders, I actually knew that. But it says "Made in France" on the stamp. I've added a picture of the stamp, but just found again in my big archieve of pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think "Sueur Paris" is french for "Made in Paris" or perhaps "product of paris" probably more literally. "Sweat Paris" So... hmmm... There is an American Company that makes Cordovan leather called Horween out of Chicago. http://www.horween.com it lists two French stockists... meaning people who supply the leather or use it in their finished goods. FrenchTrotters 30 rue de Charonne Paris, France 75011 33(0) 147 008 435 http://frenchtrotters.fr/ Three locations in Paris. Paraboot 6 rue du Bourg l'Abbé Paris, France 75003 33 (0) 1 42 72 70 97 http://www.paraboot.com/ You might try the other "stockists" to see if you can find a supplier closer to home.

Syl I know Horween and I love their leathers, but there is a scarce availability and it's so much more expensive here in Europe. Furthermore I would like to find a European source, as it makes sense buying from Europe, as much as possible. Horween sells through an agent in England and one in Germany - the English being the best of the two. Their stockists are not sellers of their leathers. It's more in terms of users or sellers of products, which include Horween leathers. Paraboot is an excellent maker of shoes - very famous. And French Trotters is a fashionable retail store, which sells Alden shoes for instance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
