Since 2012, Causse has been owned by Paraffection, the Métiers d’Art subsidiary of the fashion house Chanel. ==History== Causse was founded in 1892 by the brothers Jules, Paul, and Henri Causse in Millau, a town historically known for leather processing and glove-making. While Jules and Paul later emigrated to the United States, Henri remained in France and continued the family business. The company remained under family involvement for several generations, with Olivier Causse, a fourth-generation descendant, participating in its management in 2010s. In the early 2000s, as the glove-making industry faced structural decline, the company was relaunched in 2004 by designers Nadine Carel and Manuel Rubio, with the support of Olivier Causse. The relaunch aimed to preserve traditional glove-making techniques while adapting production to the demands of luxury fashion houses. In 2012, Causse was acquired by Paraffection, a subsidiary of Chanel dedicated to preserving and supporting artisanal crafts. Following the acquisition, the company retained operational autonomy while benefiting from long-term financial support. ==References==
