Le Prestigieux — croc-embossed leather

It doesn't draw attention. It commands it.

Le Prestigieux is the Maison's large format: a shoulder tote in croc-embossed full-grain cowhide leather, cut for the whole day. The relief catches the light without throwing it back; the smooth burgundy leather lining opens onto an interior that stands apart, set on a croc-embossed base.

The handles fall onto the shoulder. The front pocket opens with a quarter turn of the latch clasp; a magnetic closure keeps the bag shut. A zipped pocket, a phone pocket, a slip pocket, a small gold chain for keys or a charm: what is needed, nothing more.

Three shades: Onyx, the Maison's black; Opéra, a deep red; and Espresso, a dark brown.

Frequently asked questions

Is the leather genuine?

Yes. Le Prestigieux is made of full-grain cowhide leather — the top layer of the hide — onto which the croc pattern is embossed, that is, pressed into the leather, not printed.

Is it crocodile skin?

No. No exotic skin: it is a cowhide leather whose surface carries a croc relief.

Can it be worn on the shoulder?

Yes. Both handles are designed for the shoulder; it can also be carried in hand.

What does it hold?

A full day's worth: a tablet laid flat, a wallet, a pouch, a pair of glasses. The zipped pocket, the phone pocket and the slip pocket keep small items in place.

How do you care for the leather?

A soft, dry cloth day to day. Twice a year, nourish the leather with a neutral cream, applied in a thin layer and buffed with a brush. Keep the bag away from water and prolonged direct sun. To nourish it simply, our Leather Care Kit brings together neutral cream, two horsehair brushes and a soft cloth: €29.90, or €24 when added with this bag.

Can you clip the charms onto it?

Yes. Every charm of the Maison — Cherry, Nazar, Chili, Sandal and the cords — clips onto the handles and the clasp.
