Leather and care:

The Marseille H²O collection is made from full-grain calfskin sourced from surplus production at the Tannerie Roux located in the Drôme near Romans, and now owned by 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 calfskin 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 in 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 in gentle circular motions. Let your leather dry, and apply a wax treatment the next day.

Then, rinse your microfiber cloth and wipe it over the leather to remove all traces of soap and any remaining 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 penetrate the leather.

In the event that a liquid spills on and damages 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 leather split 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 impair the leather's strength. As 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 reduce waste during cutting, we retain certain natural flaws when they are purely aesthetic.

Color and patina:

The turquoise color is one that may react to sunlight. 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 develop 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 finest 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.

Holding a traditional know-how that has made French high-end leather goods renowned, Faméthic has held the artisan designer label since 2014. This means that all design and manufacturing stages are carried out in our workshop, without any subcontracting. No machine replaces the artisan's work; every stage, from pattern design to sewing, as well as cutting, punching, fitting metal hardware, and assembly, is carried out primarily in one place.

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

We specialize in hand-sewing, particularly the strongest type: saddle stitching. To ensure our pieces have a long life, the founder developed a punching technique unique to Faméthic, allowing the seams to be easily repaired—provided the leather is regularly cared for.

We work with quality full-grain leather and use hand-sewing techniques to make durable bags that truly stand the test of time, as the seams can be repaired if they wear out (unlike machine stitching). This does not come with any contractual guarantee from Faméthic; simply know that properly cared-for leather lasts three times longer and makes seam repair easier.

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.
