A bag is chosen according to three criteria: what you carry in it, how you carry it and what it says about you. The first two are matters of shape and size; the third is entirely about the material. There is plenty of choice when it comes to the first two. For the third, men’s leather goods almost always come down to leather: smooth or grained, black or brown, matt or glossy. Our bags are made from merino wool felt with cowhide leather details, creating a look found almost nowhere else. Matt, dense and non-reflective, this material behaves more like a wool fabric than an accessory: it complements a coat, suit or workwear jacket rather than competing with them. Four designs explore its qualities—a backpack, tote bag, pouch and belt—all unisex and all made in our workshops in Béarn.

Backpack, messenger bag or tote bag: which is right for you?
The question almost always comes down to this: will you be walking,
will you need to sit down, or are you only taking your laptop?
If you walk or cycle, choose a
backpack.
The weight is distributed across both shoulders, your hands remain
free and the straps can be adjusted to suit your build and preferred
carrying height.
If you travel on foot and need to carry several items, a
tote bag
is more practical: you can set it down, pick it up again and reach
inside without taking it off.
If you only need the essentials, the
pouch
serves the same purpose as a messenger bag. Carried under the arm,
without a shoulder strap or flap, it protects a laptop. It is the
most understated design in the collection and the closest to a
document case.
Finally, there is the reversible felt-and-leather
belt:
two different looks in a single piece, depending on which side
you choose to wear.
Is felt durable enough for everyday use?
It is the first question that arises when you are familiar with
leather but not felt.
The material is created by fulling the wool until its fibres
interlock to form a dense, continuous surface. There is no weave
or grain—nothing that can fray or tear along a line. On a bag,
the usual weak points are the assembly seams around the corners
and fastenings. Shaped from a single piece, our
leather goods
have none.
Wool is naturally water-repellent: light rain runs off the surface
without soaking into the bag or distorting its shape.
A bag that is large enough without being bulky?
This is the most difficult balance to strike, and it depends on
how well the material holds its shape.
Felt retains its shape without a frame or rigid lining. A bag
that is too soft collapses and appears empty, while an overly
structured bag remains bulky even when it contains nothing.
Here, the structure comes from the density of the material itself:
the bag retains a clean shape when lightly filled and opens up
when more space is needed.
The precise dimensions are provided on each product page.
Compare them with the size of your laptop before ordering.
What about carrying a laptop?
For many men, this is what ultimately determines the purchase—and
it is also where problems most often arise. A bag that is too small
forces you to squeeze the laptop inside, while one that is too
large allows it to move around.
Felt offers a specific advantage here: it acts as a cushion.
Dense and slightly compressible, it absorbs shocks rather than
transmitting them, unlike rigid leather, while a synthetic lining
provides little impact protection.
The pouch can be slipped inside the
backpack
or
tote bag
to protect your laptop within a larger design. This is the most
common combination: one bag for the day, one pouch for the laptop,
and no need to reorganise everything when heading into a meeting
with the pouch alone.
Which colour should you choose for a men’s bag?
Black remains a safe choice, but it is no longer the only option.
Our leather goods are available in both easy-to-wear shades and
much bolder colours: beige, green, royal blue, red and more.
Enough to choose between discretion and a stronger statement.
Felt also changes the way colour is worn. Its matt surface gives
shades depth without shine: a vivid colour catches the eye without
taking over, while a darker shade gains dimension. This allows the
same collection to move from all-black to intense blue or deep red
without changing its character.
When choosing, look to your wardrobe rather than following a rule.
If your everyday clothing consists mainly of navy blue, grey, beige
or denim, a vivid colour can become the focal point of the silhouette.
If you prefer your bag to complement your outfits naturally, choose
a more neutral or deeper shade. In either case, colour is not reserved
for special occasions: it is designed to be worn every day.
Which piece should you start with?
Many men carry everything in their pockets until a laptop enters
the equation. The Sacha pouch is then the simplest introduction
to the collection: it is carried under the arm, weighs almost
nothing and is all you need when only the essentials are coming
with you.
The Camille belt plays the same role among the accessories,
offering two different looks in a single piece depending on
which side you choose to wear.
