Maison and Craftsmanship

What is the history of the Le Tanneur brand?

Founded at the end of the 19th century, Le Tanneur has always created leather goods designed to last. Guided by a desire to create pieces that are both useful and well-crafted, it upholds precision expertise, carried out by artisans attentive to every detail. From the outset, the company was renowned for its innovations, including the Sans Couture purse, the result of an ingenious construction process that reflects its keen attention to detail. Over the years, Le Tanneur has adapted to changing customs and trades, without ever straying from what underpins its identity: demanding design, mastery of the finest materials and a deep commitment to the finish. To continue this story, please discover our dedicated page:

Where are your products made?

Our creations take shape in partner workshops in France, Europe and beyond, chosen for their mastery of precision craftmanship: full-grain leatherwork, refined edge finishing, clean-edge construction, saddlery expertise and technical small leather goods. Each workshop is selected for its excellence in a craft that is essential to the piece it creates. From the initial prototypes to the final quality controls, our teams work closely with these workshops to ensure that the finished product meets the brand's exacting standards: the right materials, meticulous finishes and craftsmanship with attention to detail. To find out more about our production sites, please visit this page

What materials do you use and what certifications do they have?

The brand selects full-grain leathers sourced from tanneries renowned for the quality of their processing and their commitment to environmental standards. Depending on the collection, we select smooth, grained, suede or corrected-grain leathers, each chosen to suit a specific purpose, balancing durability with a sophisticated finish. A large proportion of our leathers come from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries, a guarantee of responsible management of water, energy and waste. We also incorporate other carefully sourced materials: recycled textiles, certified linings and components from traceable supply chains, as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.

Which lines are made in France?

Three of the House’s iconic lines – Louise, Madeleine and Sans Couture – are made in France. Each is crafted in a specialist French workshop, chosen for its mastery of demanding techniques: hand-cutting, raw-edge assembly, saddle stitching, or invisible stitching for the Sans Couture line. While only these three lines are produced in France, all our collections are conceived and designed in Paris, at our headquarters on Rue Tronchet. It's here that our creative teams shape every detail: the choice of leathers, the proportions, the finishes. To discover our collections made in France:

What does your responsible approach involve (e.g. LWG, circularity)?

Our sustainable approach is based on rigorous choices: LWG-certified full-grain leathers from tanneries assessed for their responsible management of water, energy and waste. Ethical production, carried out by partner workshops that have signed our Ethical Charter. A circular approach, incorporating recycled materials, particularly leather offcuts used for our jewellery boxes and small leather goods.

What types of leather do you use?

Leather consists of the grain, its natural surface where the grain pattern appears, and the flesh, a more fibrous area located underneath.
The brand favours full-grain leather to preserve the authenticity and original qualities of the hide. Among the leathers we work with is smooth leather, which is distinguished by a uniform surface achieved through precision finishing. Grained leather features a pronounced texture, either natural or created during the tanning process. Nubuck, delicately sanded on the grain side, develops a soft feel and a distinctive matte appearance. To discover our premium materials:

This guarantee covers defects of conformity found in the item. Signs of wear and tear resulting from friction or everyday use are not covered, and any repairs relating to such use remain the customer’s responsibility.

If you notice a manufacturing defect, our customer service department will be happy to assist you. To enable us to consider your request, please send an e-mail to customer-care@letanneuretcie.com:

1 - Photos clearly showing the defect.

2 - A description of the conditions in which the defect occurred.

3 - Your proof of purchase: invoice, order number or, failing that, the email address or first and last name used at the time of purchase.
Without proof of purchase, the item is considered out of warranty and no refund will be offered.

Once it has been received in our warehouse, the refund will be issued within 48 hours. The time taken for the sum to appear in your account depends on your bank. If the fault is not covered by the statutory guarantee of conformity, you will be directed to one of our own stores (excluding retailers) for an inspection and, if necessary, a repair quote.

Available options are displayed at checkout once your address and phone number have been entered. For orders shipped outside France, eligible payment methods are provided by our partner Global-e, in your local currency.

What should I do if I cannot complete my payment?

Personalisation

Which products are eligible for personalisation?

Not all products can be personalised. Certain bags, accessories and small leather goods may be eligible for personalisation options, such as engraving or a choice of specific finishes. Eligibility depends on the type of leather, the available surface area and the technical constraints specific to each item. To find out if the product you are interested in can be personalised, please check its product page on our website or contact our customer service team, who will be able to confirm the available options and assist you with your choice.

Where and how can I have an item personalised?

Personalisation of our items is only available in certain stores equipped with the specialist machine. You can have your initials engraved, or choose from a range of finishes produced directly in the store. Before your visit, please check that this service is available at your chosen store.

The turnaround time may vary depending on the personalisation chosen and the availability of the machine.

Our customer service team is at your disposal to arrange this delivery.

Our products & care

How should I look after my leather goods?

Maintaining a leather bag or accessory depends on the type of leather used. Smooth leather, grained leather and nubuck are not treated in the same way and require specific care. Inappropriate care can alter the colour, suppleness or texture of your item. To keep your items looking their best and ensure they last, we recommend following the specific care instructions for each type of leather. You’ll find all our recommendations – cleaning, protection and storage – on our page dedicated to leather care, which guides you step-by-step according to the material of your item. Detailed instructions are available HERE.

What should I do if my bag has got wet in the rain?

If your leather bag has been exposed to rain, it's important to act quickly. Gently dab away the moisture with a soft cloth or cotton towel, without rubbing, so as not to damage the leather’s grain. Leave to dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding any source of direct heat that might dry out or stiffen the material. Regular care following contact with water helps to minimise the appearance of stains or water marks. You can find all our maintenance tips here.

What cleaning products do you recommend?

To clean your leather goods, we recommend that you use products suited to the type of leather concerned. A nourishing lotion or cream designed for smooth full-grain leather helps to keep it supple, while a waterproofing spray for grained leather protects the texture and minimises the appearance of stains. For nubuck and suede, use soft brushes and special erasers to clean the material without damaging it. Please avoid generic or household products that could dry out or alter the colour of the leather. The right products will extend the life of your pieces and preserve their natural appearance. Full instructions for looking after your leather goods are available HERE.

Boutiques and e-reservation

What services are available in-store (personalisation, repairs, instalment payments)?

Our Le Tanneur stores offer a range of services designed to support your experience. Some items can be personalised, particularly through engraving or the choice of finishes. The stores also offer maintenance and repair services to extend the life of your bags and accessories. In many stores, you can also pay for your purchases in instalments (3 or 4 instalments), for greater flexibility. As the services available may vary from one store to another, please contact the store of your choice directly to find out about the options on offer.

Can I check the availability of an item in store?

Yes, it is possible to check the availability of an item in store before your visit. The easiest way is to contact the store directly by phone or email to confirm the product’s availability and its variations – colour, size or finishes. This will save you unnecessary travel. Some stores may also offer reservations by phone to set an item aside for quick collection, ensuring it is available when you arrive.

Is e-reservation available?

E-reservation allows you to reserve an item online and then collect it directly in store. This service, available in certain Le Tanneur stores, allows you to set a product aside without immediate commitment. You can choose the colour, size or finishes, where the collection time will be specified by the store. The availability of this service may vary by store. Please visit the store’s page or contact the store directly to check whether e-reservation is available for the item you wish to purchase.

Do your outlets or concessions offer the same services?

Le Tanneur outlets and concessions generally offer a more limited selection of products and do not always provide all the services available in our main stores. Certain options, such as personalisation, repairs or payment in instalments, may not be available there. However, these outlets give you access to a selection of items at attractive prices while you also benefit from in-store advice. To find out about the services offered in an outlet or concession, please contact the store directly to check the availability of the services you require.
