Au-Delà du Cuir announces 2024 intake
French industry initiative Au-Delà du Cuir (ADC) has announced the names of the footwear and accessory brands that will make up its 2024 intake.
ADC is a joint-initiative of a range of industry organisations in France, with The French Leather Council (le Conseil National du Cuir), the French Footwear Federation and CTC (The French Professional Development Committee for Leather, Footwear, Leather Goods) among the most prominent.
Its aim is to encourage French companies to develop manufacturing operations in France, rather than be obliged to produce elsewhere for economic reasons. Companies selected to become part of ADC receive coaching and advice, and help in securing funding to take their companies forward.
For 2024, seven companies will join the programme. ADC has named them as: shoe brands Corail, Meeko, Philippe Zorzetto and Virón, plus accessory brands 10.03.53, Bonastre Paris and Fane.
