Every TPU model shares the same material: a translucent thermoplastic polyurethane, coloured throughout, water-resistant and easy to clean. The material is explained in full in the complete guide.

Best for everyday: the Jelly Firkin

This is the signature bag, and the one that fits the widest range of situations. Its 35 × 27 cm swallow a slim laptop, a pouch and a bottle. The rigid handle holds the shape even when the bag is barely filled, which avoids the slumped look at the end of the day. Twelve colourways, so twelve ways to make it discreet or loud. At €53.90 it is also the best capacity-to-price ratio in the range.

Choose the Jelly Croco instead if you want the same size with a more worked croc grain, or the Croco Glacé if you prefer a rigid shell with a lacquered polish.

Best for the evening: the Mini Jelly Firkin

Phone, keys, card, a balm: the Mini holds the essentials and nothing more, which is exactly what an evening bag is for. Its 28 × 25 × 12 cm and 500 g hang from your hand without you thinking about it. It is also the most affordable in the range at €45.00, and the easiest to match: on a small surface, even a bold colour stays an accent rather than a statement.

Best for the beach: the Riviera

The only one in the range designed for sand and water. Its 35 × 15 × 23 cm take a towel, sunscreen and sunglasses, and above all it rinses clean under fresh water — something no leather bag forgives. The Confetti Tote plays the same role with more capacity and eleven variations.

Best on a small budget: the Mini at €45.00

This is the entry price of the Maison, with no compromise on the material: the Mini is made of the same through-coloured TPU as the signature model. The difference is the size, not the quality.

Best if you prefer leather: Le Firkin

For anyone who wants the silhouette of the Maison in a classic material, Le Firkin is made of full-grain cowhide with a leather lining, 29 × 15 × 15.5 cm, at €69.90. Four colourways — Camel, Ivory, Onyx, Elephant — each with a gold or silver buckle. With the Héritage, it is one of the two non-translucent models in the range.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Jelly Firkin and the Mini?

Same line and same material, two sizes: 35 × 27 cm for the signature, 28 × 25 × 12 cm for the Mini. The first carries a working day, the second the essentials.

Do the charms fit every model?

Yes. They clip onto the handle or the clasp of any bag in the collection.

Does TPU yellow over time?

TPU keeps its clarity and its structure, unlike the PVC of 2000s jelly bags, which yellowed and hardened. The two materials are compared in detail in our article on TPU and PVC.

Which model makes a good gift?

The Mini at €45.00 if you do not know the person's habits: its size suits everyone. Add a charm to personalise it.

Do you ship to my country?

We ship to more than thirty countries, free of charge to twenty-seven of them. The country-by-country detail, with delivery times and currency, is on our shipping by country page.
