THE BEGINNINGS
Created in 2018 by Martin Meunier, Valet de pique is a brand of leather goods made in France. Authentic, local and durable, we design simple, elegant and customizable pieces.
LISTENING TO YOU, IT IS WITH YOU THAT WE BUILD VALET OF SPADES.
You are at the centre of our attention and we do our utmost to transmit to you a know-how, a history, a memory, and above all a passion in each of our pieces. And that's why every single piece is dated and numbered.
We propose products which are the fruit of sixty years of know-how and which hold in time.
Paris allows us to meet these objectives of quality and style.

OUR VISION

Sober and elegant
The most demanding design: sobriety. Find balance in the detail, simplicity in the whole. Valet de pique offers you the style that lasts and will survive the fashions.
The sense of quality
We believe that a quality product will always provide more satisfaction than a more expensive purchase. It lives, it takes on a patina. We all get used to it as we go about our daily lives. A product that is used longer pollutes less. Above all, it is made here. To cherish these few objects that we want to keep over time, is to fight against the excesses of overconsumption: in France, for fifteen years we have been buying 60% more fashion items, which we keep on average half as long as Hellip; Selling off the quality in favour of seasonal trends is not a solution for the future. And the quality of a product in no way restricts the possibilities of creation and style, quite the contrary!


Human and committed
This adventure is synonymous with encounters and passion: it is above all a human story. With our customers and suppliers, we are convinced that it is by exchanging, by advocating transparency and sincerity that each of us will be able to offer the best. Our commitment is therefore also one of proximity: it means defending local French and then European know-how and industry.
A SUSTAINABLE COMPANY
Vegetable-tanned leather, used in the manufacture of Valet de pique parts, comes from a European production chain.
This process of leather treatment, made with plants, limits the use of chemical products, such as chromium. Not only is this treatment more respectful of the product, but it also gives the leather an authentic and irregular appearance, which gives a certain extra soul to our leather parts.
Valet de pique has all his pieces made in a Parisian workshop, thus helping to maintain local know-how. The short circuit is a fundamental value of the creator, since he also calls upon French companies for his packaging as well as for his cleaning products.


WHY “VALET DE PIQUE” ?
A Valet is a traditional tool of the leather goods industry which allows to make a seam "with pliers". The leather is held firmly, allowing both hands to be used. The leather is then stitched with the pointed end of an awl, then the leather fibres are spread apart to allow the seam to pass through.
