OUR LEATHERS

At Atelier Renard,
all our leathers are of the highest quality

We only work with the very best French tanneries. Our pieces are designed to become faithful companions, developing a patina to become truly one of a kind.

BARANIL CALFSKIN

Baranil leather is the most iconic leather for traditional saddler leather goods and is known for its gold (light brown) colour, which pairs perfectly with ecru stitching.

It boasts a smooth, almost buttery feel which reflects the natural beauty of full-grain calfskin. Time merely enhances its beauty as a stunning patina develops.

LAGUN TAURILLON

Lagun Taurillon is a full-grain leather, meticulously crafted to highlight its natural texture.

It's a classic choice: this thick, voluminous leather gives a reassuring result. It has a very consistent look, a luxuriously supple texture and a slightly dry feel to it.

In addition, it is remarkably colourfast, won't develop a patina and is scratch-resistant.

SOCOA TAURILLON

Socoa Taurillon leather is made with the very highest quality skins. We select them particularly carefully, because their natural characteristics are what make this leather so special.

With its full-grain finish, this natural leather is renowned for its soft, waxy feel. It is easily marked by scratches and knocks, but develops a wonderful patina over the years.

NUBUCK TAURILLON

Gochoki Taurillon leather is a Nubuck leather with a velvety smooth grain.

Made by gently buffing the leather's grain, it is particularly water- and stain-resistant. This soft, silky leather has a truly unique feel.

SMOOTH CALFSKIN

Smooth calfskin is a semi-aniline Nappa leather which is particularly hard-wearing, but still has a soft, silky feel.

Taupe, azure, grey, fuschia: smooth calfskin comes in an infinite number of colours, so let your imagination run wild.

CROCODILE SKIN

At Atelier Renard, we have proven expertise in working with rare and exotic leathers – particularly crocodile skin, which we're particularly fond of.

Whether you like the buttery or soft feel of matte leathers or prefer the natural, effortless elegance of smooth leathers, crocodile skin is a truly extraordinary material. This hard-wearing leather is enjoyable to work with and simply stunning when worn.

DIPPED LAMBSKIN

Lambskin boasts an incredibly soft feel and an impressively intense colour.

It makes the inside of your bag just as unique and luxurious as the outside.

Leather is a sensitive material which needs to be treated gently.

Avoid anything which could scratch its surface and don't apply any oily cleaning products. When not in use, store your leather item somewhere clean and dry and, ideally, protect it from prolonged exposure to light.

Use the soft side of a slightly damp sponge to clean the leather, rubbing it gently with a sweeping motion to protect the integrity of the leather’s surface.
