Leather and care:

The Marseille H²O collection is made from full-grain cowhide leather sourced from surplus production at the Roux Tannery located in the Drôme near Romans, and now part of the LVMH group.

This pronounced-grain leather is supple and thick. It is dense, with a full and textured feel. Of exceptional quality, it develops an elegant, gradual patina.

Despite its very natural finish and light color, this cowhide leather is easy to care for.

To protect your leather, enhance its patina, and preserve the leather's durability, apply a wax treatment once a month for 4 months using the leather care balm offered by Faméthic. Use a soft cotton cloth, take a small amount of balm, fold your cloth in half, and rub the two sides together to spread the balm as evenly as possible on your cloth.

Then apply your oiled cloth to the leather using gentle circular motions. You can pay special attention to the edges of the leather to accelerate their patina.

To clean your leather, you can use a damp microfiber cloth and a little Marseille soap, which you will lather on your cloth before applying it to your leather using gentle circular motions. Let your leather dry, and apply a wax treatment the next day.

Then, rinse your microfiber cloth, then wipe it over the leather to remove all traces of soap and the last bits of dust.

In the case of a persistent stain, use a piece of crepe as an eraser to lift or lighten the stain. Keep in mind that the more you wax your leather with the leather care balm, the less stains will set into the leather.

In the event that a liquid spills on your leather, absorb the liquid as quickly as possible, then clean it as soon as possible. Finally, wax your leather the next day.

In our workshop, we have chosen to work exclusively with leather called "full-grain" for all our designs. Unlike split leather taken from the dermis, full-grain leather comes from the epidermis, the strongest part of the skin, reflecting the animal's life.

Thus, certain "flaws" will be visible, such as wrinkles, moles, stretch marks, scars, scratches, punctures, etc. Most of the time, these marks are merely surface aesthetic flaws and do not alter the leather's strength in any way. Since leather itself is a waste product of farming, and for ecological reasons, we deliberately work with hides that have some of these marks. Likewise, to limit waste during cutting, we retain certain natural flaws when they are purely aesthetic.

Color and patina:

The turquoise color is a color that can react to the sun. Indeed, like blue jeans, the blue color can fade. As a precaution, and while waiting for your wax treatments and the first few months of use to give the leather a sufficiently protective patina, avoid exposing your leather to the sun for too long.

The patina of this leather will develop slowly and gradually, which is the best way to achieve the most beautiful patina. It will reflect you, your daily life, and your relationship with objects.

Construction:

Each of our models is made entirely by hand in our workshop in Bourg-lès-Valence by Valérie, an artisan designer at Faméthic.

Possessing traditional craftsmanship that has made French high-end leather goods renowned, Faméthic has held the artisan label since 2014. This means that all stages of design and manufacturing are carried out in our workshop, without using subcontractors. No machine replaces the artisan's work; all stages, from pattern design to sewing, cutting, punching, fitting metal hardware, and assembly, are carried out in principle in the same place.

As a truly independent brand, we work without intermediaries to offer original designs at a fair and controlled price.

We specialize in main stitching, particularly the strongest, saddle stitching. In order to ensure our pieces have a long life, the founder developed a punching technique unique to Faméthic, allowing for easy stitching repair—provided that the leather is regularly maintained.

We work with high-quality full-grain leathers and use hand-sewing techniques in order to offer sturdy bags that truly stand the test of time, as the stitching can be repaired if it wears out (unlike machine stitching). This does not entitle you to any contractual warranty from Faméthic; simply be aware that properly maintained leather lasts three times longer and makes stitching easier to repair.

Marseille H²O Capsule Collection

At the origins of the Faméthic brand name, we realized that this turquoise grained calfskin enhances all skin tones and is very easy to wear. Thanks to their brightness and their elegant, prominent saddle-stitch seams, the pieces in the collection have become iconic creations of the brand.
