Maître maroquinier since 1898

The story of Le Tanneur begins right in the middle of an optimistic and carefree Belle Époque (late 1800s). From its very beginnings, it has been inspired by the French style of living and has always remained true to its founding principles and primary ambition:

"Embodying French elegance and passing down our love of well-crafted materials and fine leatherwork."

la maison

Since 1898, we have been dreaming up, designing and crafting premium and essential bags and accessories that have stood the test of the years, with their truly timeless design.

From full-grain leather to the finesse of a clasp, we neglect no detail.

For men and women who want a modern, timeless look, Le Tanneur offers a wide collection of leather goods to wear every day and love for a lifetime.

Our Beliefs

Quality

As experts in small leather goods, which require highly precise craftsmanship, we pay close attention to the selection of our raw materials and work exclusively with full-grain leather — the finest part of the hide.

Durability

Our teams are uncompromising and do everything possible to ensure the highest quality and durability of our products, so they stand the test of time without losing their appeal.

Responsibility

Since 1898, we have always known how to adapt to the times — like a master leather craftsman fully aware of his role in society and the responsibilities that come with it.

Engagement

Today, our teams are committed every day to integrating forward-looking topics into their thinking at every level.

125 YEARS OF HISTORY

Le Tanneur was founded in 1898 by two men with exceptional expertise. Two entrepreneurial inventors: one a leatherworker, Mr Charles Bonnardel, the other a tanner from a family of tanners going back 3 generations, Mr Francisque Bornex.

They joined forces to launch their first luxury leather goods item: a revolutionary purse called "Le Sans Couture" ("Without Seams").

This partnership was to result in the founding of Le Tanneur and its collections, including its iconic coin purse, which we still produce today in our workshops near Le Mans, France.
