🇫🇷 Made in France (11th arrondissement of Paris)

Dimensions: 50 x 43 cm

Color: Blue


This exceptional piece embodies our boldest vision of luxury upcycling.

Crafted from supple calfskin from a house known for its revolutionary approach to materials, Amantine transforms the art of second life into a statement of timeless elegance.

Our artisans at the century-old factory in the 11th arrondissement have devoted their ancestral know-how to revealing the hidden beauty of this noble material. This upcycled leather, remarkably supple, carries within it the heritage of another time while being part of our responsible approach.

Each stitch demonstrates the "pincer" technique performed with a traditional valet - the tool that gives our house its name. The finish respects the codes of Parisian saddlery: hand-dyed raw edges, visible seams that tell the story of its creation.

The Amantine tote bag reveals the poetry of artisanal craftsmanship, where French excellence is combined with environmental awareness. Transforming, revealing, and enhancing: this is the art of our Parisian workshops.

"You have to play to become serious" - this wisdom from Aristotle guides every creation.

Amantine plays with codes, diverts a material, gives it new life, transforming the nobility of gesture and material into an essential part of everyday life.

The leathers we use for Amantine are carefully selected from the dormant stocks of a major luxury house. These exceptional materials, originally intended for the most prestigious creations, find a new life in the expert hands of our artisans. Each hide already tells a story of refinement and excellence, which we extend with our traditional saddlery expertise.
In a poetic gesture of rebirth, we transform these forgotten treasures into timeless companions. Amantine thus embodies our philosophy: revealing hidden beauty, giving a second chance to noble materials, creating magic from what seemed lost. This approach combines our environmental commitment with our quest for elegance, proving that innovation and tradition can dance together.

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.
