LOLO CHATENAY in the spotlight on TF1 in “C’est le cuir qu’ils préfèrent”

This Sunday, November 30, 2025, at 2:50 PM on TF1, the channel will honor leather crafts in the documentary "C'est le cuir qu'ils préfèrent" (It's the leather they prefer), broadcast as part of the Grands Reportages program.

Cameras were invited into our workshop near Lyon to go behind the scenes of LOLO CHATENAY. An immersive look at our team, our leather bags, and our expertise. Behind the scenes of our workshop near Lyon
The show follows the daily lives of several leather artisans in France, including the LOLO CHATENAY workshop.

You will discover:
- the manufacturing of our small series bags,
- the precise gestures of cutting, preparing, and assembling leather,
- the development stages of our models, from sketch to final piece.
Our concept of reversible and interchangeable flaps is also presented: a patented system that allows you to change the style of a bag in seconds, without changing its base.

Leather, a living material at the heart of the brand
"C'est le cuir qu'ils préfèrent" highlights those who have chosen to make leather their material of choice.
For LOLO CHATENAY, leather is central to everything:
skins carefully selected from European tanneries,
grained, smooth, or textured leathers designed to last,
a patina that reveals itself over the years, without going out of style.

The report shows how we work on the finishes: dyed edges, topstitching, linings, metal accessories... Every detail counts to offer a bag that accompanies daily life and lasts a long time.
Personalization, durability, and common sense
Beyond aesthetics, the show addresses the issue of consuming less but better.

At LOLO CHATENAY, this conviction translates into:
100% French manufacturing, in our own workshop,
evolving bags: compatible bases, flaps, shoulder straps, and accessories,
the possibility to change color, texture, or style without buying a new complete bag.

A single bag can thus go from the office to the weekend, from a classic look to a more audacious version, simply by changing a flap or a shoulder strap.
