How It’s Made: Meribel Woven

Woven by hand in an atelier outside of Florence, the leather is named ‘Méribel’ as a nod to Charlotte Perriand’s beloved chalet in the French Alps. It is made by taking our classic Buffalo leather and hand-weaving each panel of the bag. The leather takes our classic Black and Cognac leather which provides a rich grain and subtle shine.

How It’s Made:  The Metal Plate

Inside each limited edition bag is a custom metal plate crafted from solid brass. Each plate has a unique serial number to indicate its edition and style information.

How It’s Made:  The Perriand City Handle

Each handle is created by an artisan in Florence who inserts a special braiding into a piece of leather before it is folded and stitched to become our signature Perriand handle.
