Artistic Vision and Craft Techniques

Art Cuir et Cie, led by Annie Laroche, is an artisanal workshop specializing in leather work. The designer explores various techniques of leather carving, modeling, and engraving, combining traditional methods with personal experimentation to create unique and personal pieces. The leather is worked to give it shape, volume, and life through modeling, embossing, and the assembly of materials, as well as the use of colors and graphic elements.

The creations offered span various categories:

• Leather Goods: handbags, satchels, and crossbody bags made from cowhide or goatskin, grained or smooth, often one-of-a-kind pieces, handcrafted from full-grain leather.
• Belts: a wide range of narrow or wide belts (2 to 5 cm), in various colors (black, brown, red, blue), made of vegetable-tanned leather, designed for men and women, with meticulous finishes and a variety of buckles.
• Decorative objects and sculptures: leather statuettes and figurines depicting comical characters, meditation figures, samurai, or modern creations, intended for interior decoration.
• Accessories and jewelry: leather earrings, pencil holders, and designer items, crafted from finely worked leather with a contemporary aesthetic.
