Anne Frésard
Garnisseuse automobile
Le Noirmont

« My driving force: to combine couture and technique to seek authenticity. My fuel: the taste of the filling. »

Born in 1973 in Delémont, Anne Frésard began her training with an apprenticeship as a seamstress. Attracted by technology, she opted for the profession of car upholsterer and obtained her CFC with, as a result, the Pioneer of Equality Prize from the canton of Jura. In 2005, she opened her studio in Noirmont. She is the only independent woman in French-speaking Switzerland to practice this profession.

« Attention to detail is at the heart of my business. »

At the top of a barn bridge lies Anne Frésard's workshop. The demands are high to restore the interiors of classic cars, create motorcycle saddles or repair examination tables, armrests for watchmakers' workbenches or chairs. Under the expert hand of the upholsterer, who has elegance and authenticity at heart, leather is omnipresent.
