“1907 birth of the Rondinaud brand in La Rochefoucauld (Charente) in the traditional Charentaise production area. Théophile RONDINAUD, a shoemaker at the time in La Rochefoucauld, in the Charente, began manufacturing his comfortable woollen felt slippers. In the 1950s, James RONDINAUD (his son) came up with the idea of modernising them, developing them and making them known the world over. His version with the tartan top is now a universally recognised model. RONDINAUD has been making charentaises for 4 generations in La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois, the historic birthplace of our legendary slipper.”
