SOBER, CLASSY, TIMELESS
No need to look further for an understated and premium sneaker. The mid canvas from Barons Papillom can be worn in any situation, whether with a dress, tailored pants, jeans, or a suit. A perfect compromise for a classic, casual and elegant style.
ECOLOGICAL, AN EXCEPTIONAL SNEAKER
A well thought out sneaker to be truly ecological: 100% French manufacturing, inner lining made from recycled cotton, guards and reinforcements out of vegetable-tanned leather, a breathable insole, and a tone-on-tone embossed butterfly logo. You can be proud to wear our mid canvas champagne.
QUALITY, COMFORT AND SERENITY
Whether you're out and about in the city or out in the countryside,you'll never want to be without your mid-top canvas sneaker. Its recycled organic cotton grosgrain gives this sneaker elegance, comfort, and durability you expect.
A CLASSY AND SOBER LOOK
The tone-on-tone butterfly logo gives it that chic, unmistakable look. For our first pair made from recycled materials, we use hot stamping without any added chemicals. Our butterfly incarnates and shows all the nobility that finds its origins in the purest traditions of 100% French manufacturing and creation, like our brand.
TECHNICAL INNOVATION
NoOur unique and iconic TM180 Velcro strap allows for a 180° opening so your feet can slip into the sneakers without untying them. It's even easier to take them off. A real time and effort saver.
SCULPTED IN THE SMALLEST DETAIL
The butterfly silhouette is at the heart of the brand. Its origin is to be found in the heraldry of the Renaissance barons and its logo is directly embossed. This golden logo was designed in collaboration with a French jewellery house. It took many steps to achieve this elegant result.
CAREFULLY SELECTED MATERIALS
Sourced from an Italian tannery and hand-sewn, its internal leather lining offers flexibility and a soft feel, making the sneaker a real glove for the feet. You will notice the leather softening after several days of use, this is completely normal: it is a guarantee of quality, while allowing the sneaker to adapt to the shape of your foot.
A FRENCH HERITAGE HANDICRAFT WORK WHICH IS ECOLOGICALLY RESPONSIBILE
Handicraft work and well thought-out production
Concerned about environmental problems, we have always wanted sneakers which are both elegant and astute, perfect for today’s slow fashion movement. We adhere to the principle of "zero destruction" for our unsold stock and we continue to develop creative processes, privileging European materials which are truly respectful of the environment, while associating ourselves with ecological collaborative projects.
True quality fabrication
Without quality materials, no quality products! At Baron, we are now more demanding with the quality of our leathers, just as we are with the inner lining. As for the upper lining, it is made of calf leather from Italy.
The conception is quite intricate, 100% made in France
Upstream, Eric makes a brief for each model and Benoit proposes several designs. Once the design is validated for the new sneaker, it’s time to choose the raw materials, which come from France and Europe in order to privilege short circuit production. Upon reception in Montjean-sur-Loire, Cathy and her team elaborate the prototype from the selected design.
The prototype is validated. Production can begin
Cutting, stabbing, assembling the sole with the upper lining, hot gluing the sole... there are no less than 35 steps in the entire production chain.
Until the last step: shipping
Nothing is taken for granted. Each step goes through the expert hands of our French artisans and each pair is pampered until its final preparation, then packaged.

Attractive and responsible, an example of up-cycling
What makes us conscious of our environment? Production which is 100% made in France. We have recently adopted boxes made of recycled cardboard, also made in France at our La Roche-sur-Yon site. Lighter, they enable us to further reduce our environmental impact and our carbon footprint linked to transport. As long as you’re lightening your footprint – even if it’s a carbon footprint – what better way to do it than with our sneakers!
