Welcome to the legacy of Camille-Paris a distinguished name in the 19th-century saddlery industry that maintained its prominence until the early 20th century.

Established in 1826 by Mr. Essminger in Paris, the house underwent transformations, eventually becoming “Trousselle & Camille Jeune” in 1871. In 1881, Alphonse Camille assumed sole leadership, propelling the business to rival the renowned English industry and surpass it in many countries.

Military Contribution and Recognition: Post the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Camille-Paris flourished, providing over 40,000 complete harnesses to the French government. These military contracts not only aided the French army’s reorganization but also opened doors to international markets.

The company’s success was highlighted by numerous accolades, including gold medals in Amsterdam (1883), Hanoi (1887), and Paris (1889), solidifying its reputation for quality, durability, and a vast product range.

Global Presence: By 1892, with a workforce of 150, including 30 women, “Alp. Camille Jeune” became a leader in France, distributing its products across Europe, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Award-Winning Designs: The company’s commitment to excellence garnered recognition at international exhibitions, earning gold and silver medals in cities like Nice (1884), Chicago (1893), and Paris (1900).

Legacy and Evolution: The company’s impact extended beyond its products. Camille-Paris was known for producing richly illustrated catalogs featuring a diverse range of military equipment and saddlery, contributing to its recognition worldwide.

In the early 1900s, Alphonse Camille joined forces with his son, leading to the evolution of the house into “Alp Camille & Fils.” The tradition of creating exceptional products and maintaining a commitment to quality continued, as reflected in their 1900 Paris Expo success with two grand prizes and two gold medals.
