Aubercy bootmaker was founded in 1935 by André and his wife Renée Aubercy. The company first only produced high-end ready to wear shoes. The first collections were made in a small workshop in the neighborhood of Buttes -Chaumont. The shoes were designed to match the taste of the high society's member that André Aubercy befriended during the Interwar period, such as Edward VIII, Albert Sarraut and especially the Baron de Redé and Arthuro Lopez. The Baron de Redé and Arthuro Lopez were a critical influence on the development of Aubercy's style. After World War II, Aubercy Boot-maker became famous for providing shoes to socialites such as Paul Meurice, Sacha Guitry and Jacques Charron. In the seventies, Philippe and Odette Aubercy inherited the company and developed new products, such as a women's line, multiples  leather goods products and a made to order service in which client could personalize all the products. Nowadays, Aubercy Bootmaker is administrated by Philippe and Odette's son, Xavier Aubercy. Pursuing and reinforcing the handwork and craft identity of the company, he invented numerous high-end ready-to-wear models, opened a bespoke boot-maker workshop, in Paris in early 2000, and a luxury shoe repair service.
