For Colette, creation is an intimate dialogue with leather, where sometimes a simple spark of inspiration is enough to give life to a new creation. Work to order

Colette Clément brings to life works of art found nowhere else, using all kinds of leather. Her passion for leather, that noble, dense material, has guided her since her earliest childhood memories, imbued with the intoxicating scent emanating from the craft of her great-grandfather, a renowned shoemaker. Santa Reparata was renowned for its 20 established shoemakers. Colette's grandfather was also a shoemaker, so the whole thing bears witness to ancestral know-how handed down from generation to generation. Contact with leather inspires Colette, who sometimes waits for the right moment to create the ideal object or article. In this case, the leather wisely waits to be used. As everything is done by hand, this requires great expertise and dexterity. The technique takes a long time to learn, which is why Colette leatherworking is a rare profession.

In this world where time seems to stand still, each unique piece, handcrafted with incomparable expertise, brings to life the craft of leatherwork, with its demanding techniques and constant quest for perfection. A rarity that Colette honors with passion and dedication. Everything is designed by the craftswoman, then represented on templates with just the right proportions. Discerning customers, who know exactly what they want to wear, ask Colette for made-to-measure extras, and the bags and accessories of their dreams come to life.
