First made in 2005, the Matilde bag returns for fall/winter 2026, remade from the original pattern found in the Le Tanneur archives. This women's shoulder bag has a soft, rounded shape and is cut from full-grain leather, built for daily use.
A shape that has held up
Matilde is known for its soft, slightly rounded silhouette, made to be carried on the shoulder or by hand. Drawn in 2005, the shape moves with the body instead of fighting it.
Full-grain leather, few embellishments
Matilde is made from full-grain leather, the top and most durable layer of the hide. The silver-tone hardware and tone-on-tone embossed logo are deliberately understated: the house lets the material speak instead of the branding.
A reissue, not a reproduction
Pulled from the archives of a house founded in 1898, Matilde is not a vintage find. It is the original pattern put back into production. The reissue reflects the same leatherworking approach Le Tanneur has used for more than 125 years.
Built to hold what women actually carry
Matilde has three compartments, one zipped, plus a flat interior pocket and a zipped interior pocket. Enough structure to stay organized without adding visible pockets to the outside of the bag.
Questions & Answers
Is Matilde a new bag or a reissue?
It's a reissue. The original was designed in 2005; the fall/winter 2026 version is remade from that same pattern, taken from the Le Tanneur archives.
What leather is the Matilde bag made from?
Full-grain leather, the top layer of the hide. The lining is Crépuscule cotton, a navy shade used across this season's collection
Does the soft leather lose its shape over time?
No. The softness is built into the design for comfort when worn, and the construction is engineered to hold its shape while still moving with what's inside it.
How do you care for the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth or a leather-specific cleaning soap. A leather-nourishing cream, a matching-tone cream on high-wear areas, and a waterproofing product help it hold up over time.
