ABOUT US
By merging our cultural horizons, we aspire to create a unified vision that combines the refined elegance and sophistication of French design with the rich artistic heritage of Indonesia. Our goal is to shape an unprecedented blend of timeless geometric styles, infused with an exotic ambiance.

Our mission is to support "Slow Fashion" by offering genuine, durable, and high-quality leather products while taking on our social responsibility to reduce plastic waste through the use of biomaterials (compared to synthetic or laminated leather).
