The House of Causse
Founded in 1892, the House of Causse is one of the leading glove manufacturers in Millau.
For four generations, the House has supplied the most prestigious French fashion and luxury Houses; Causse redefines the glove as an object of aspiration and fashion.
In its workshops, designed by architect J.-M. Wilmotte, forty artisans carry on the Millau tradition by combining exceptional craftsmanship with modern style.
The House, which has been part of CHANEL’s Maisons d’Art ecosystem since 2012, preserves this French artisanal heritage and reflects it in each of its creations.
Proud of its heritage, Causse offers a modern take on the timeless art of glove-making.
In Millau, known as the 'Glove Capital', artisans have mastered the art of leathercraft for centuries, shaping each piece into perfectly fitted gloves.
After a meticulous selection of the finest leathers, the materials arrive at the workshop, where every step of the making process is carried out on site. Some models require over a hundred individual operations.
The alchemy of leather selection, material choice, colors, and finishing details captivates aesthetes and connoisseurs around the world.
A unique craftsmanship
Technological innovation
Over time, and with technological advances, new tools have been developed. Yet, the glove remains entirely handcrafted. It is always the human touch that guides and ensures the “finest workmanship”.
Exceptional materials
Noble leathers such as lambskin and peccary are carefully sorted, selected, moistened, stretched, cut, and then pressed under weight for twenty-four hours. Sometimes, more than a hundred steps are required to craft a single pair of gloves.
Heritage
Causse is the oldest glove-maker in France. The House’s unique craftsmanship has been passed down through generations, preserving a tradition no machine could ever replace. Causse glove-making upholds its commitment to excellence, treasured handwork, and strong family values.
