Why did I create Atelier Bertrand?
Founded in 2015 by Jérôme Bertrand, Atelier Bertrand designs a fashion dedicated to the noblest material: leather. With clean lines and cuts ranging from fitted to oversized, each model is carefully designed to showcase the leather.
I've always wanted a quality leather jacket, made in France, that I could personalize. The problem? This option didn't exist.
Between the two: nothing
One day, a leather supplier said to me, "Jerome, there are three colors in leather: black, black, and black." That's when I decided to change things.
I spent two years researching the best French tanneries, those that work for the big brands. Finding a workshop capable of producing on demand rather than mass-producing the same model.
How we do it
The principle is simple: you tell me what you want, we make it.
Color, leather type, cut, collar... We communicate via email or meet in person. Then, the workshop begins work. Each piece takes 4 to 6 weeks because it is entirely unique.
Our artisans work in the heart of Paris. There's never a second jacket to be made at the same time. It's therefore essential to be very close to the workshop so I can go there every day.
Leathers? We use the same tanneries as luxury brands. I hand-select each hide. We now offer over 120 colors. No more "black, black, black."

What guides me:
Three principles are important to me:
Sustainability
A well-made, well-maintained jacket will last for years. It ages with you, molds to your body shape, and becomes unique.
The right price
You pay for the leather, the craftsmanship, and our organization. No prestigious boutiques, advertising campaigns, or middlemen.
The quality
I only sell what I would wear myself. No compromise on materials or finishes.
