At Atelier Le Sac du Berger, the love of craftsmanship and creativity always comes first! Our team is made up of talented individuals, and today we'd like to chat with Éric Gallo, our bootmaker!
I underwent vocational retraining with RQTH (recognition of disabled worker status). This enabled me to complete two years of training at a shoemaking and multi-services school, followed by another year at a boot-making school.
Being very manual and creative, I turned to what I wanted to do, work with my hands. Given that working with steel or wood was too constraining, I turned to leather, which remained my preference, and opted for shoes.
I don't know if it's unique, but it's certainly unique to me. With my approach, my eye and my know-how about the work to be done and the materials, I carry out my task with the greatest possible care.
When I was looking for an internship, a friend in the neighboring region told me about it and introduced me to an associate at Sac du Berger, who sent me to the company.
Mainly shoes and sandals. I make them from scratch, which allows me to control quality throughout. I also work on repairs.
At the workshop, we're committed to the artisanal way of working. In fact, each product is made from start to finish by the same person.
Craftsmanship, quality, know-how and transmission.
We are a Living Heritage Company! It's a label that recognizes excellent industrial and craft skills, and aims to preserve and enhance them for the future.
Glad to have shared my enriching experience. Thank you very much!
