Bopy:
Expert in Children’s Footwear<br>Since 1905
The origins of Bopy’s story trace back to 1869 when a young Pierre Humeau, just 12 years old, discovered a passion for manual work and entrepreneurship. Quickly drawn to shoemaking, Pierre Humeau founded his first workshop in 1905 in Beaupréau, Maine-et-Loire, bringing together a team of about twenty artisans who shared his enthusiasm for crafting high-quality leather shoes.
Inspired by his childhood memories, Pierre focused on making shoes for the youngest. Bopy soon became a regional reference for children’s footwear, expanding rapidly across France.
