Our Materials
Researching and finding our materials is an intense moment of inspiration and emotion. It begins with a feeling, a touch, the memory of a moment, allowing us to project and assemble our ideas in order to express our creations.
Nylon Satiné
A must-have for any occasion, this supple fabric is feminine and resistant, practical and lightweight. Penelope and Olivier use various details such as darts, gathers, topstitching and pleats borrowed from couture and fashion for their creations.
Sensitive to our environment, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, our nylon bags have a neutral environmental impact. Under an agreement with Econyl/Aquafil, Aquafil produces nylon yarn for our satin nylon canvas supplier, Limonta, through a process that recycles fishing nets, plastic receptacles, carpet and other plastic waste.
Composition: 90% polyamide - 10% polycarbonate.
Modern
Glam, metallic - ultra light, it is a "featherweight" champion material, resistant and very flexible allowing us a reliable interpretation of our creations and especially the last theme "Fame high school of art", urban by nature, which the creative duo has been able to fully exploit.
Composition: 49% Polyurethane - 33% Polyester - 18% Cotton.
Tantra Leather Full grain cowhide leather, supple with an aniline finish: an oily, colourless solution that oxidises on contact with air to give a fine resin, a wax that nourishes the skin in depth, leaving the surface in its natural state but protected by the same wax. An authentic and natural finish, slight imperfections must be accepted. This leather inevitably marks but its appearance regains a lively homogeneity as it takes on a patina (the elegance of the passing of time, referring to leather). Sensitivity to light, regular maintenance necessary.
Composition: 100% full grain cowhide leather with an aniline finish, of Italian origin.
Luna Leather Full grain calf leather, metallized by the application on the upper and outer part of the skin, of an ultra-thin gold film, made by our Italian tanner. The natural texture is thus respected as well as the suppleness, the metal finish is subtle, not a traditional gold but more a Sahara desert gold or naturally aged gold. This leather is fine, supple and very slightly grained. Very nice finish and quality. It is necessary to avoid any rubbing in order to keep its leather intact.
Composition: 100% full grain calf leather from Italy.
Dutch Leather & Poncho Leather
Full grain goatskin leather, it has a light natural grain which allows us to express through the relief of its grain the two-tone aspect of our colours. This leather combines suppleness and sturdiness, ideal for our small leather goods collections.
Composition: 100% full grain goat leather, of Italian origin.
Antique Leather Full grain cowhide leather, mineral tanned, having kept the original surface and applied a pigment-tinted finish on the surface.
Reconciles both a unique "antique-vintage" aspect and a beautiful touch; Its patina (the elegance of the passing of time, as referred to in leathers) will reduce scratches, imperfections linked to the very nature of the skins and will give it back a homogeneity with a shine that will fade with use. Good resistance to dirt and light, regular maintenance required.
Composition: 100% full grain cowhide leather from Italy.
Cassandra Leather
Full grain cowhide leather, mineral tanned, having kept the original surface and received a pigmented finish, i.e. a pigment-tinted finish on the surface.
We have elaborated a modern matt nappa version, very adapted to our creations in small leather goods. Its patina (the elegance of the passing of time, referring to the leathers) will give it back a homogeneity and slightly more shine over time. Good resistance to dirt and light, regular maintenance necessary.
Composition: 100% full grain cowhide leather from Italy.
Suede
Suede leather with a rich, velvety appearance. This finish allows us to develop many intense, deep colours. Made from very beautiful calf leathers, although it has a delicate appearance, it is robust once protected using a water proofing spray, which should be applied before use and then at regular intervals.
Composition: 100% leather - tanned bovine crust, of Italian origin.
