The heart of Le Tanneur has been beating ever more intensely lately: a new identity, inspired by over a century of expertise around the figure of the Master Leather Craftsman; a new Seamless bag, a variation of the iconic 1898 coin purse; and a whole series of upcoming collaborations aimed at reinventing the art of leathercraft and leatherwork with partners equally committed to the quality and sincerity of our trades.
We therefore needed a new place to welcome this new energy; a place of conviviality, made for receiving, exchanging, and showcasing leathers, creations, and sketches of our bags. A prestigious place, steeped in history, whose walls evoke past dreams, epics, and adventures. A place that feels lived-in, just as our patinated leathers release a unique sensation. The Hôtel de Pourtalès, our new address located in the Madeleine district of Paris, represents the ideal place for us.
First, you must pass through those large red doors, always slightly ajar, which modestly conceal the unique atmosphere of the place. Pause for a moment and imagine what Count James-Alexandre de Pourtalès must have felt when he returned from his adventures abroad, between diplomatic intrigues and a thirst for art, leading him to assemble a collection of antiques and paintings, from Bronzino to Rembrandt. The mythical or religious scenes still resonate with power.
Then ring to the right, and settle on the ground floor in one of those comfortable canvas cabins that allow visitors to unwind before heading upstairs.
The details of the engravings, the surprising friezes that imitate the Tuscan art beloved by the Quattrocento, then lead us to the showroom of our Maison. Here, wide tables in amber and black tones, accompanied by gilding, seem to remind us that our Maison is devoted to conviviality; conviviality of minds and projects, from the artisans to the designers.
In this showroom, we welcomed a series of fashion enthusiasts, photographers, journalists, influencers, and privileged clients to discover our Spring Summer 2019 collection around an 'Atelier Malle.' This Atelier Malle was set up in our floors and has since gone on tour to various boutiques. It’s a way to share a bit more of our Maison with our clients.
Perhaps in the manner of Count de Pourtalès, who loved to recount the treasures of his mansion during his travels.
You too, come and discover our Atelier Malle. Find the tour dates in Île-de-France on our Facebook page.
