The purpose of this paper is to examine how small-scale production met demands of the time, the pursuit of quality and quantity, with reference to Saint-Etienne ribbon industry during the inter-war period. In those days feminine dress was unfashionable, and demands for ribbon decreased increasingly. As compensation for the shortage, Saint-Etienne ribbon industry began to produce new merchandises suitable for mass production. But the organization of production was never changed. Saint-Etienne ribbon industry produced news merchandises with traditional organization called chef-d'atelier. Because it was important for Saint-Etienne to supply to the upper class traditional high-grade ribbons which only chef-d'atelier could produce. In other word Saint-Etienne actively wanted to participate in the creation of Paris fashion. In fact it was to pursuit of quality that was the essential subject for Saint-Etienne ribbon industry. This choice had steered Saint-Etienne ribbon industry to turn down finally. But it is undeniable that Paris fashion was sustained by many kinds of high-grade ribbons made in Saint-Etienne.
