Our Upcycled Leathers

Make less, create better — with upcycled leathers.

At atelier &LAB,
we believe precision and responsibility can coexist.

The leathers we use come from dormant stocks
or materials set aside by French and Italian fashion houses,
as well as their partner tanneries.

Materials originally unused,
to which we give a new purpose.

Each piece is singular,
where the nobility of leather meets a more measured use of resources.


Why upcycling

Giving unused leathers a second life.
Reducing waste, preserving resources.

 

An aesthetic and sustainable choice

    Each bag carries its own nuances and patina.
    The nobility of leather remains intact, with a reduced footprint.

    The leathers used come from dormant stocks or carefully selected materials
    sourced from French and Italian fashion houses.
    Slight variations in grain or shade may occur from one edition to another.
    They are an integral part of each piece’s identity.

     

    Our commitments

    • Careful selection of leathers from French and Italian fashion houses and partner tanneries
    • Deliberately limited production, with selected numbered pieces
    • Transparency on the origin of materials
