While he was forty years old, Etienne Fabre made a decision that would not only change his life but also that of his descendants: he would become Gantier. The legacy of Maison Fabre as a glove goes further than the foundation of the company. In 1909, Etienne Fabre then 25 years old was passionate about horse riding to the point of committing to become a Mounted Police. At the time, horses, horse cars, bicycles, boats and trains are the main modes of transport and everyone then has a pair of gloves: it is the revelation and the beginning of a family history that continues to write.
