Leather bag made in France, in full grain leather. Simple and elegant. The Emile satchel is a model inspired by the PTT satchels worn by French letter carriers in the 1960s. The wish with this satchel is to be able to use it every day, on the bike, at work, whether you are a woman or a man. So we made a satchel in a classic and timeless style.
Vegetable tanned leather
The leathers we use for our products are carefully selected from the best Spanish, French and Italian tanneries.
How to take care of your leather bag?
To prevent leather from drying out, cracking or discoloring unevenly, try to protect it from direct heat and sunlight for prolonged periods.
Step 1: Remove impurities and dust Using a soft cloth, wipe the surface and every corner of the leather of your bag.
Step 2: Apply nourishing beeswax-based milk Using a clean cloth, apply the milk delicately and in a single, very thin layer to make it penetrate well. This step helps protect your leather bag against drying out as well as nourishing and waterproofing it.
Step 3: Polish the leather piece
After application, let the leather rest for a few moments then buff it using a soft, clean cloth.
HOW DOES CUSTOMIZATION WORK?
To make your piece even more unique, we suggest you add a text, a quote, initials, a first or last name, a date... to your piece of leather goods.
1 - Add your text in the space provided: 'Personalization'
Read again carefully.
Please note: the larger your message, the smaller the text will be.
For accessories: maximum 10 characters.
For bags and pouches: maximum 100 characters.
2 - Your text is then engraved by our craftsmen on your piece using laser engraving
The laser burns the leather very lightly, your text will always be black/brown.
3 - Made to measure in our Paris Workshop
