LÉTRANGE leathers

The Louvre is the cradle of our first workshop.

This remarkable place and monument is the very root of each of our creations. Our leathers thus logically draws their inspiration and their name from its every nook and crannies.

We exclusively use full-grain leathers, sourced from French and Italian best tanneries, preserving a tradition of excellence that clings to our skins.

Carrousel Goatskin
