Unique know-how in France

BOHIN, the last French needle manufacturer

Unique know-how in France

In the Pays d'Ouche region of Normandy, flows a river that once provided the hydraulic energy needed to manufacture our products. Our production workshops are located here in Saint-Sulpice-sur-Risle, in old buildings.

Using ancestral machines, needle makers perpetuate a unique know-how . They thus give birth to sewing needles, glass-headed pins, pelote bracelets... and other smaller productions. Their gestures, passed down by former employees, are precise. Their ears remain attentive to the sound of the machines, which they know by heart. Their trades are unique, and the quality of their semi-artisanal productions is incomparable. A poetry and a strong aesthetic emanate from these places where needles come to life.

In 27 stages and 2 months of production , Isabelle, Karine, Perrine, Sylvie, Loïc and Victor give birth to BOHIN needles, renowned for their incomparable glide.
