At Atelier Bertrand, leather isn't just another raw material. It's the starting point. It determines the fit, durability, comfort, and style.
We work exclusively with high-end leathers from French, Spanish or Italian tanneries selected for their consistency, compliance with standards and mastery of tanning.
This is the leather we use most. A full-grain lambskin, supple, smooth, and dyed throughout.
It comes from the Bodin Joyeux tannery, in operation since 1860, supplier to major French companies, labeled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant.
This leather doesn't cheat. It doesn't hide its rough edges under a layer of pigment. It breathes, evolves, and develops a patina.
Dipped lambskin is the finest finish that requires the finest lambskins to achieve it.
Denser and more textured, deer leather has a distinct natural grain. It is a very well-known grain in leather; some lamb tanneries even create deer grain prints on their leather.
Flexible to wear, but visually more present, it provides substance without rigidity.
It is the leather with the best strength/flexibility ratio in the world for clothing.
This soft-touch leather is often confused with suede, but it is more stable, more technical, and cleaner to cut.
It comes from a French tannery specializing in fine leathers.
The finish is matte, precise, without shine or surface effect. It is ideal for mid-season jackets or models with a more relaxed style.
Lamb velvet – Spanish tannery
Lamb suede is distinguished by its finesse and suppleness. Less thick than goatskin, it gives a more fluid drape, with a matte and regular texture. This leather is tanned in Spain, in a very renowned tannery in the country that we have selected for its consistency and the quality of its finishes.
Exotic leathers
Made to order
For certain special projects, we offer a selection of rare leathers:
A question of duration, not of trend
All the leathers we use are chosen for their durability. These materials can last 15, 20 years, or more if properly maintained. We guarantee zippers, snaps, and metal parts. We also offer replacement linings and lifetime alterations on custom-made pieces. A leather jacket shouldn't look good for six months. It should stay that way for years.
