Birthdays, Christmas and everything in between
A birthday comes round every year, and so does Christmas: leather suits both, as well as Mother's Day and Valentine's Day, because it doesn't hinge on a dress size or a season. For a friend or a colleague, a glasses case or a passport holder is a considered gift that won't overwhelm. For a milestone birthday, a handbag or a jewellery box marks the occasion properly.
Third anniversary: a leather gift for her
Leather is the traditional present for a third wedding anniversary, which makes it one of the few occasions where leather gifts for women carry a meaning of their own. It is worth choosing a piece she will use rather than keep in a drawer: a handbag for every day, or a jewellery box for the rings and earrings she wears most.
Handbags
Emilie is carried by hand or worn on the shoulder thanks to its adjustable, removable strap, in a grained leather that copes well with daily use. Emie combines smooth leather with suede in a soft, unstructured shape. Juliette borrows from pleated pouch bags, with handles and body cut as a single piece, a construction that takes skilled leatherwork. Céleste is a hobo in smooth full-grain leather, with an envelope-style cut at the base and an adjustable belt-style strap.
Small accessories and jewellery boxes
The grained leather glasses case closes with a press stud and comes with a removable wrist strap and a detachable charm. The passport holder, also in grained leather, goes wherever she travels. Our jewellery boxes are made of grained cowhide lined with velvet, with a swivel mirror and a lock and key; the soft travel jewellery case keeps rings, earrings and a watch in place in a flat format.
Questions & Answers
Do you offer gift wrapping?
Every parcel is prepared to be opened like a gift: bags are wrapped in tissue paper and placed in a Le Tanneur dust bag, and small leather goods arrive in their own box. At Christmas, gift wrapping is included. The rest of the year, our customer service team can send gift wrapping in a separate parcel: a Le Tanneur gift bag, a blue satin ribbon and scented tissue paper. Personalised messages are not available for now.
Can I send the gift straight to her without the price showing?
Yes. Enter her address as the delivery address when you order. No prices appear in the parcel and no invoice is included.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. The Le Tanneur e-gift card is valid for one year from the date of purchase and lets her choose the model, colour and size herself.
How should I look after a bag with suede panels?
Some versions of Emie and Juliette pair suede with smooth or grained leather. Apply a waterproofing spray to the suede before the first use and repeat it regularly. If the bag is a present, it is worth passing this tip on with it.
Where are Le Tanneur bags made?
Our bags and accessories are made in our workshops in France and by partner leatherworkers in Europe, North Africa and Asia, some of whom we have worked with for more than forty years. Our page on where our bags are made tells the full story.
