Midipy: an enduring story handed down through the generations

In 1998, in a spirit of authenticity and quality, Philippe Granet and Denis Paternotte have brought back to life the history of Pyrenean wool by creating Midipy and reviving one of the region’s largest spinning mills.

At that time Midipy used to offer natural throws, woven from high-quality, undyed wool. A few months later, not far from the Pyrenees, Philippe and Denis have decided to develop a range of leather goods handcrafted in France, with carefully designed leather items for home decoration.

In 2024, at the end of a long family trip around the Southern Hemisphere, during which they came into contact with ancestral artisanal practices in Laos and Bolivia, Eloïse Paternotte and Daniel Dumont, nephews of the Midipy founders, have offered to take over the activity with the same objective : working for sustainable elegance in the natural world and French know-how.
