{"product_id":"la-petite-centauree","title":"The little Centaur","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Petite Centaurée is a full-grain leather crossbody bag with a chic, timeless style, appreciated for its comfort and naturally secure closure. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eCreated in 2018, the Petite Centaurée was born from the desire to revisit a classic of leather goods: the crossbody bag. After several years of experience, I wanted to create a true handbag that was chic, timeless, and instantly recognizable. From the moment it was launched, it became one of Faméthic's most popular models, eventually becoming the brand's bestseller. Its success then led to the creation of the Centaurée, designed to offer more capacity while retaining the same spirit.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts identity is based on volumes entirely defined by curves. The soft lines, rounded shapes, and absence of visible metal hardware give it an elegant, harmonious, and timeless silhouette. Yet, behind this apparent simplicity lie many design choices intended to improve everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn particular, I wanted to create a completely concealed closure that was both more discreet and more secure than an exposed one. The flap naturally guides the hand: it opens easily with one hand, closes almost by itself, and naturally returns to its position. This simple operation, accompanied by the light characteristic sound of the closure as it engages, contributes as much to the pleasure of use as to the model's sense of quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis search for balance is also reflected in the design of the bag. Rather than widening the flap, I deliberately narrowed the top of the bag's body to create a subtle shoulder-pad effect. This detail protects the sides of the opening, conceals the shoulder strap attachments, and limits water ingress or items falling out when the bag is open. An almost invisible design choice that permanently improves comfort of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its creation, the Petite Centaurée has hardly changed. Today, it is one of Faméthic's iconic models, both for its style and its comfort of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eExternal dimensions: 25 cm wide, 17 cm high, 8 cm deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInternal dimensions: 24 cm wide, 16 cm high, 7 cm deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWeight: approximately 0.4 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2.5 cm wide strap, adjustable from approximately 70 cm to 145 cm with a sliding buckle for a tight shoulder, long, or crossbody fit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMagnetic snap closure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInterior slip pocket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKey fob\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003eThis model is crafted from full-grain calfskin leather from the Italian artisanal tannery Virgilio Conceria Artigliana, which specializes in vegetable tanning. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"\u003eDyed through with natural pigments, this leather develops a deep patina over the years that gives it all its personality.
