What really goes into making a handbag?

During this tour, we will take you into the heart of our workshop to show you the various stages of creating our pieces.
You will see leather being worked, discover our machinery, and understand how the different components are prepared, assembled, and refined right up to the finishing touches.
From splitting and skiving to assembly and stitching—without revealing every trade secret, we will show you the techniques that define daily life in a leather workshop.
After all, behind a bag that may appear simple lie numerous steps, immense precision, and true craftsmanship.
This is precisely what makes French leather goods so special: the ability to combine mastered techniques with a contemporary vision of fashion and luxury. 

French craftsmanship at the heart of LOLO CHATENAY

At LOLO CHATENAY, we design and manufacture our creations in France, in our Lyon-based workshop.
We place great importance on the choice of materials, precision craftsmanship, and the quality of the finishes. It is this exacting standard that allows each creation to strike the perfect balance between artisanal know-how, elegance, and modernity.
