A family story….
Today the story continues to write with the Shoemakers group. When we ask the two founders with what look they see the brand and the group today? When we question Guy & Yvon on the beginnings of Pom of Api, they quickly refer to their childhood memories surrounded by their father And their grandfather, both shoemakers.
The small family business specializes in the high -end shoes, first in the men's sandal. The two brothers learn the job very early alongside their father, in La Gaubretière in Vendée, in a small workshop located just behind their house.
"During our school holidays, we worked in the workshop to help our parents, and this from around 11 years old: collage, stake, etc ... we wanted and we learned the job with our family" underlines Yvon Rautureau.
"When we arrived in the 70s, Yvon and I had two different, complementary courses: a technical course and my brother, a more commercial course." Guy Rautureau
