1872 | Birth of a French Luxury House

Simon Tissot-Dupont, the dynasty's founder, was just 25. He was born in Savoy to a family of millers.
He was an enterprising and passionate young man who was determined to succeed in Paris.
He recruited several talented craftsmen and established a prestigious leather goods workshop.
In particular, he manufactured wallets and "maroquins", the attaché-cases of the time, bearing the initials of senior civil servants. He was rapidly successful among Parisian high society.
Soon, he became the official supplier to the Magasins du Louvre, which was a reference in the world for luxury accessories at the time.
