The art of made in France in leather goods
French leather goods demonstrate their excellence through bags and accessories for men that combine elegance and practicality.Our collectioncombines high-end cotton canvas woven in France with full-grain vegetable-tanned leather. Noble and durable materials expertly crafted in our artisanal workshop in Chauvigny. Authentic know-how that gives birth to timeless, robust and refined pieces.
The criteria of a genuine French product
The recognition of aproduct made in Franceis based on specific criteria established by the European Union Customs Code. An item may display the "Made in France" origin marking when its last substantial transformation takes place on national territory.
To guarantee authenticity, labels like "Origine France Garantie" certify that at least 50% of the unit cost comes from France. Monébari meets these requirements by favoring short supply chains: our canvas is woven near Lille and our full-grain leather comes from tanneries that are primarily French.
THEmanufacturing standardsare accompanied by rigorous traceability. Each stage of production, from the choice of raw materials to final assembly in our Chauvigny workshop, follows a strict protocol that validates the French origin of our products.
The know-how of leather goods manufacturers
Leatherworking techniques are passed down in our Chauvigny workshop. Leather cutting requires pinpoint precision to optimize each hide, while assembly requires perfect mastery of stitching.
The creation of a bagMonebariinvolves several dozen separate operations. From the initial pattern design to the meticulous finishing touches, each step reveals the expertise of our master craftsmen. Our unique signature lies in the creation of side gussets and the installation of metal accessories, carried out exclusively by hand.
We draw inspiration from traditional methods such as saddle stitching with waxed linen thread, ensuring the strength and elegance of our creations. This attention to detail has characterized the excellence of our workshop since its inception.
The quality of the materials used
A rigorous selection ofnoble raw materialscharacterizes each Monébari creation. Our cotton canvas, woven in France, undergoes extensive tests for resistance to abrasion and tearing.
The choice of sewing threads, reinforced with polyester, allows for particularly resistant stitches. Each component is selected for itsexceptional durability, creating pieces that stand the test of time without losing their elegance.
A controlled environmental impact
At the house ofMonebari,the manufacturing of each product is carried out in our workshopChauvigny, in France, with the greatest care and respect for the environment. We favorlocal suppliersandFrench raw materials, which allows us toreduce our transportand to support a short circuit.
We also value theleather scrapsby reusing them to create small leather goods, thus limiting waste. Our tannery partners offer us acomplete leather traceabilityand share our concern for quality and responsibility.
Our approach is part of asustainable and artisanal production, with constant attention to the impact of our daily actions.
