Ganterie André Poujade

Millau / France

What Ganterie André Poujade is known for

Maison Poujade was founded in Millau in 1949 by master glove maker André Poujade, working alongside his father-in-law François Calmels.

Maison Poujade was founded in Millau in 1949 by master glove maker André Poujade, working alongside his father-in-law François Calmels. The house has stayed in family hands for three further generations: André's daughter Marie-Hélène opened a Poujade glove shop in Montpellier in 1973 and ran it for nearly forty years, and in 2000 her daughter Anne-Laure and son-in-law Christophe took over direction of the Millau house itself.

The stated goal since founding has been the manufacture and sale of high-end city gloves under the Poujade name, worked in leathers the house selects itself — lambskin, peccary, reversed lamb, deer, and ostrich among them. That materials list, carried across four generations of the same family, points to a house built around fine dress gloves specifically rather than leather accessories generally.

Direct access to the site was blocked to automated fetching, so this entry rests on trade-press and directory corroboration (France Cuir's company record, and a Millau craft-tourism roundup) rather than the site's own text; the business's registration and Millau address are independently confirmed through those sources. Alongside Causse and Agnelle, Poujade is one more of Millau's family glove houses still trading under its founder's name three-quarters of a century on.
