About the JM WESTON BRAND :
1891
Edouard Blanchard founds a workshop in Limoges that specializes in manufacturing shoes.
The story of J.M. Weston begins at the end of the 19th century, in the heart of France’s Limousin region, with its long tradition of tanning and leather working. Édouard Blanchard established his factory here in 1891, making men’s and women’s shoes. He was soon joined by his son Eugène, whose sights were fixed on the modern manufacturing methods used in the United States.
1904
At the turn of the century: a journey of discovery from Limoges to Weston
Edouard Blanchard’s son, Eugène, leaves Limoges to learn Goodyear welting in Weston (near Boston,Massachusetts).
1922
The birth of a brand : the inter war years in Paris
A Paris horse race seals the destiny of the family business, when Eugène Blanchard crosses paths with a certain Monsieur Viard. The encounter is a clash of cultures (Paris and Limoges), the meeting of a modest, self-effacing entrepreneur and a dandy who adores shows, concerts and the capital’s high life. Both join forces, they patent the J.M. Weston name and open the first store on boulevard de Courcelles. This unexpected partnership lays the foundations for J.M. Weston: a name, a tradition of skill and expertise, a Parisian spirit.
1962
Loafers: a walking legend
Rebel French Mods the so-called "Bande du Drugstore" make the J.M. Weston loafer their own, wearing it “barefoot”, teamed with jeans. By wearing the shoes of their father's generation in new and different ways, they demonstrate their own refusal to conform. The legend is born. France’s “hep cats” quickly adopt the shoe as their clan uniform.
