Our Values
From A to Z.
We explain in detail all the steps that constitute the birth of a product. At each stage, the commitments of Léo et Violette are underlined : towards you, with a reasoned and quality production.

DESIGN
At Léo et Violette, we create our bags with our customers in mind first. All our products are imagined and designed in Paris, in our offices on rue Sainte-Anne. Most often, an idea for a model comes from a need that you have expressed to us through the various feedback that we collect throughout the year.

MATERIALS
Made in Italy
Our leathers come exclusively from hides recovered from the agri-food industry. We work exclusively with tanneries in Italy, France, and Spain. For each supplier, we seek specific characteristics that will ensure that the selected material meets all the requirements for the products we want to manufacture. In addition to the qualitative aspect of the suppliers, we also select them for their ecological commitments. That's why we offer you more and more products in vegetable tanning, made with a less polluting and totally natural process. Our grained leathers and some small leather goods are offered to you in this vegetable tanning. Always on the lookout for opportunities to improve our production towards more eco-responsibility, this year we are working with Adapta, a company that upcycles leathers from major leather goods houses that have been abandoned. Reducing losses, reusing, working in a closed cycle: these are all ideas that we offer you for responsible leather goods. Finally, and this is the most important thing: all our bags are handmade in our workshop near Naples. They and us, it's been 8 years already and it doesn't stop there. Working with a family workshop means offering you valuable know-how. For us, it is unthinkable to produce anywhere other than Italy or Spain, to maintain such a high level of quality in manufacturing

THE SAVOIR-FAIRE
> A beautiful manufacture
All our bags are made in Naples, Italy in a family workshop created in the 1980s. Each stage of production is carried out according to specifications that respect the craftsmanship of leather goods. The cutting of the leather, the dyeing of the edge, the assemblyIing: so many steps which are carried out by hand by expert craftsmen.
> A Good production
Sometimes our permanent models are not available until two or three weeks after your purchase. The reason ? To avoid overproducing, and therefore making useless stocks. We place orders every two months with quantities that follow demand. Our workshop thus has the time to produce your bag with care.

WARRANTY
Our greatest satisfaction: seeing you with your Léo et Violette product several years after your purchase. For this, we put the greatest care in the choice of leather, metal parts and all materials used. So that you can use your bag for years. The design of the products follows this same logic: the bucket bag, the box bag, the briefcase are all forms of elegant and timeless products that cross the years.
> Guaranteed products
We take it very seriously to provide you with the best possible quality of service. Our products are all guaranteed for one year, during which we take care of the repair of your product free of charge. Repairs are made in the same manufacturing workshop in Naples.
> Designed to last for years with you
We try to provide as much advice as possible to maintain and preserve the products over time. Beyond the warranty, we offer, when possible, the repair of your products. A damaged shoulder strap or a carabiner to replace, our goal: to keep your Léo et Violette bag as long as possible
Our goal: to offer you well-thought-out, well-made products at a fair price, all year long.
