Leather and care:

The Marseille H²O collection is made from full-grain cowhide leatherfrom the production surplus of the Tannerie Rouxlocated 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 and 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, wax it 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 parts 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 focus on the edges of the leather to speed up 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 wax it the next day.

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

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 case of a liquid that 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 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 only surface aesthetic flaws and do not alter the leather's strength in any way. Since leather itself is a waste product of the livestock industry, and for ecological reasons, we deliberately work with hides having some of these marks. Likewise, to limit waste during cutting, we keep 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 waxing and the first months of use of the leather to develop a sufficiently protective patina, avoid exposing your leather to the sun for too long.

The patina of this leather will be long and gradual, which is the best way to obtain the most beautiful patina. It will be in your image, in the image of your daily life and your relationship with objects.

Confectionery:

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

Holder of traditional know-how that has made the reputation of high-end French leather goods, 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 subcontracting. No machine replaces the artisan's work, all stages from the design of the patterns to the sewing, passing through cutting, punching, fitting metal accessories and assembly, are carried out in principle, in the same place.

A true independent brand, we work without intermediaries in order to offer original designs at a fair and controlled price.

We specialize in hand sewing, in particular, the strongest, saddle stitching. In order to place our pieces in a durable life cycle, the founder developed a punching technique unique to Faméthic, allowing for easy repair of the seams - provided the leather is regularly maintained.

We work with quality full-grain leathers and use hand sewing techniques in order to offer durable bags, truly standing the test of time, as the seams are repairable in case of wear (unlike machine sewing). This does not give rise to any contractual warranty on the part of Faméthic, simply know that maintained leather lasts three times longer and makes seam repair easier.

Little extras to help you pamper your leather bag:

Leather care balm (30ml) and an organic cotton pouch free with all our leather bags.

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.
