Soft to the touch, it has a slightly velvety appearance and naturally develops fine lighter marbling called \"repousse\", characteristic of high-quality oiled leathers. This leather is made by the Haas tannery in Alsace from hides from its overstocks, as part of an approach to valorizing already produced materials. It is a leather that is dyed through and mineral-tanned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of the bag is made from firmer leather to ensure it holds its shape over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor models with a licorice-colored base, I use full-grain calfskin from the Roux tannery in France. This leather, dyed through, receives a light pigmentation that enhances its resistance to daily use while preserving the natural beauty of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor models with a cognac or wine-red base, I have selected full-grain calfskin from the Virgilio tannery in Tuscany. This leather is vegetable-tanned using an environmentally friendly process. Its pure aniline finish reveals the full richness of the leather and encourages the development of a deep patina over the years. It is nourished using a traditional grease recipe used by the tannery to preserve its suppleness and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe closure system consists of an organic cotton drawstring made in France. Robust and comfortable to use, it can be easily removed to be washed or replaced if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all natural materials, leather evolves over time. Friction, light, and daily use gradually contribute to the creation of a unique patina that tells the story of each bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo learn more about the different leathers used in the workshop, the types of tanning, or the natural evolution of the material over time, you can also visit the page dedicated to \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/instruments-du-monde.live\/pages\/les-cuirs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eour leathers\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow pre-orders work\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-orders for the Terre Humaine capsule collection are open from June 13 to July 30.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBags pre-ordered during this period will be handmade in the workshop starting from the close of pre-orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first deliveries are planned to start in September 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis organization allows us to produce the most appropriate quantities possible while preserving artisanal, handmade production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo understand more about how made-to-order production works at Faméthic, you can visit the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/instruments-du-monde.live\/pages\/fabrication-a-la-commande\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ededicated page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePayment can be made:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein one installment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein two interest-free installments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein three interest-free installments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith payment in three installments, the final payment is due approximately at the time of delivery of the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade in my workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Camélée is handmade in my workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seams are made using the saddle stitch, a traditional hand-sewing technique using two needles.

Already nourished through and through during tanning, they will gradually become glossier and develop a protective patina through friction, handling, and care.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe first 4 to 6 months are essential for the formation of this patina.\u003c\/strong\u003e During this period, the new leather is still very absorbent and requires more care. Over time, its surface will naturally become more resistant and easier to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDuring the first 4 to 6 months\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend performing care \u003cstrong\u003eapproximately once a month\u003c\/strong\u003e with the care balm provided with your creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a very small amount of product. Distribute it carefully on a soft cloth so that it is evenly impregnated: \u003cstrong\u003ethere should be practically no visible material left on the cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e. It should only be very lightly moistened with grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen pass the cloth over the leather \u003cstrong\u003etouching it gently and evenly\u003c\/strong\u003e, without trying to push a large amount of product in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the leather is already nourished through and through, it does not need to be heavily greased. On the contrary, when it is new, its surface is particularly absorbent: it is therefore important to start with very little product. As the patina develops, the leather will absorb less quickly and care will become easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balm thus \u003cstrong\u003esupports the natural work of tanning\u003c\/strong\u003e. Friction on clothing will gradually polish the surface of the leather; handling and contact with hands also help to nourish it. Little by little, these different elements combine to form a more harmonious and protective patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA few precautions at the beginning\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this initial period, be particularly attentive to your creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid handling it with \u003cstrong\u003ewet, greasy hands, or hands that have just been creamed\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as any contact with food or other greasy materials. Until its protective patina is established, the leather is still very absorbent: \u003cstrong\u003estains can penetrate quickly and remain visible for a while, until the leather works and its patina becomes uniform.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNubuck leather may also show small traces of surface abrasion. They are generally superficial: \u003cstrong\u003ea simple pass of the finger is usually enough to soften or make them disappear.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnd in the rain?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis leather can withstand \u003cstrong\u003ea few drops, light moisture, or very fine rain\u003c\/strong\u003e. A brief contact with water does not mean that your creation will be stained or damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, during the first few months, we advise you to avoid deliberately exposing it to the rain as much as possible. The newer the leather, the more quickly it absorbs what comes into contact with its surface. As the patina develops, water will gradually be less likely to penetrate the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your creation gets slightly wet in the rain, simply let it \u003cstrong\u003edry naturally\u003c\/strong\u003e, without doing anything further and without placing it near a heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven once the patina is established, a leather bag is obviously not intended to be soaked: a reasonable amount of rain and prolonged exposure to water are two very different things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnd in the sun?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all natural leathers, these leathers \u003cstrong\u003ealso react to the sun\u003c\/strong\u003e and their color will evolve over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the first few months, avoid strong and prolonged exposure so that the patina can form gradually and harmoniously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the leather has developed a patina, it can naturally accompany you much more freely outdoors. However, it is still preferable not to leave a leather creation permanently in direct sunlight or exposed to very high heat: leather is not meant to \"cook\" in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShould the leather be waterproofed?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproofing is not essential.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patina that gradually builds up itself constitutes a protection and allows the leather to better withstand moisture over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you still wish to waterproof your creation, be sure to choose \u003cstrong\u003ea product without grease\u003c\/strong\u003e. The leather is already nourished through and through and also receives its care balm: there is no need to multiply the application of grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn case of a stain or dirt\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA piece of \u003cstrong\u003enatural crepe\u003c\/strong\u003e is provided with your creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a material has settled on or become embedded in the leather, use the crepe delicately \u003cstrong\u003elike an eraser\u003c\/strong\u003e, to remove what can be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the leather, especially when it is still new, has already absorbed a stain—particularly a greasy material—do not try to make it disappear by adding water or a large amount of product. The crepe can help remove the surface material, but \u003cstrong\u003ea stain absorbed into the leather will not necessarily disappear immediately\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter using the crepe, you can perform light care with the balm, always in a very small amount and evenly. The goal is not to abruptly mask the stain, but to gradually guide the leather toward a more harmonious patina: the edges of the mark will soften, the color differences will become less pronounced, and the leather itself will evolve and darken slightly over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere may therefore be, at the beginning of your creation's life, \u003cstrong\u003ea period during which certain stains remain visible and the patina still appears irregular\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not try to multiply interventions to make them disappear. Simply continue to care for your leather gently and give it time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs it evolves, these stains will blend into its patina and some will eventually disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOnce the patina is established\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter approximately \u003cstrong\u003e4 to 6 months, depending on how often you use your creation\u003c\/strong\u003e, the patina will begin to fully fulfill its protective role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather will then be less absorbent and much easier to live with. You will be able to use your creation in more varied circumstances, take it outdoors or into nature more often, and be less concerned about small everyday stains or light rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare can then be spaced out. We recommend nourishing the leather \u003cstrong\u003eapproximately twice a year\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideally during the change of seasons:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ein spring\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the strong sun exposure of summer;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ein autumn\u003c\/strong\u003e, before the return of rain and moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, it remains important to continue nourishing your leather. A material that dries out deeply gradually loses its suppleness: regular care helps preserve the leather fibers and contributes to its longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe golden rule: gentleness and regularity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo care for your creation, \u003cstrong\u003ealways work gently and evenly\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is better to use very little product and renew the care when necessary than to try to quickly transform the appearance of the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leathers of Terre Humaine were chosen precisely for their ability to evolve. Their tanning gradually expresses its qualities with use: the grease present in the leather's body, the care balm, friction, handling, light, and simply time all work together to form their patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour creation is therefore not intended to remain as it was the day it left the workshop.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its surface will become glossier, its color may evolve slightly, some marks will appear and then fade. It is this evolution that will gradually give the leather its character and make your creation a truly unique piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnd what about the drawstring?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cotton drawstring can be \u003cstrong\u003emachine-washed with its leather ends\u003c\/strong\u003e. Preferably place it in a laundry bag to limit the abrasion of the cotton. As the leather ends may bleed slightly, avoid washing them with light-colored textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen let the drawstring dry naturally, away from direct sunlight.
