Since 1958, in Aigues-Vives in the Gard hinterland, La Botte Gardiane has been manufacturing shoes and leather goods initially for the gardians, and for individuals in search of authenticity and true French quality know-how, recognized by obtaining the Living Heritage Company label in 2007. Today it is one of the only French companies that still manufactures everything in its workshop and sources locally from the most quality tanneries.
