For those seeking something truly unique, our CITES-certified exotic leathers, such as alligator and ostrich, are sourced from trusted suppliers that meet international conservation standards, ensuring ethical and responsible sourcing.
Stainless Steel Hardwares
All our hardware, from buckles to zippers, is made from durable stainless steel, chosen for its longevity and polished elegance. This ensures that the details of your bag are as strong as they are beautiful.

The Craftsmanship
A Process Rooted in Passion
We are so confident in the quality of our materials that every Mathilde bag comes with a limited lifetime warranty. This is our promise to you—that your bag is crafted to last, designed to accompany you through life’s many journeys.
Leather Cutting
Our artisans begin by meticulously cutting the leathers to precise dimensions, using both traditional tools and steel dies to ensure consistency. This step is vital in shaping the foundation of the bag.
Saddle Stitching
Every Mathilde bag is hand-stitched using the saddle-stitch technique, a method revered for its durability and strength. This artisanal technique ensures that each stitch is not only functional but beautiful, adding to the overall longevity of the product.
Marquetry Technique
We take pride in using the intricate marquetry technique, where different colours of leather are seamlessly blended to create unique patterns and designs. This technique is a hallmark of our craftsmanship, resulting in bags that are as unique as the women who carry them.
Sustainable and Luxurious Packaging
At Mathilde, we believe that the experience of luxury begins long before you carry the bag. That’s why we take equal care in how we package our products.
Every Mathilde handbag is delivered in an exclusive handcrafted box, designed to both protect and reflect the elegance of the product inside. The box not only ensures safe transit but also serves as a beautiful storage option for your handbag.
Each bag is also carefully wrapped in a sustainable dust cover, made from eco-friendly materials that protect the leather while minimizing environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainability extends to every detail—because luxury should never come at the expense of the planet.
A Lifetime of Elegance and Craftsmanship
From the finest materials to the most precise craftsmanship, every Mathilde handbag is made to stand the test of time. Our limited lifetime warranty is our way of sharing our confidence in the product with you, ensuring that your bag remains a symbol of luxury, quality, and sustainability for years to come.
