Your Next French Bag Obsession: 3 Parisian Brands to Know
Timeless design, minimal silhouettes, and that unmistakable French ease - these are the bags we can’t stop thinking about!
Looking for your next French bag obsession? These three Parisian brands are quietly redefining what it means to carry something chic, versatile, and beautifully made.
A few weeks ago, I shared a roundup of 3 French Handbag Brands You’ll Adore If You Love Polène featuring Fleuron, Le Tanneur, and Pourchet, all known for their classic silhouettes and impeccable craftsmanship. Today, I’m highlighting three more Paris-based labels that are equally refined, with a modern perspective and a minimalist edge!
Rooted in intentional design and quality materials, these up-and-coming favorites blend quiet luxury with everyday ease. Whether you're building a capsule wardrobe or simply love a well-made leather bag, these are the names to keep on your radar!
Léo et Violette
Minimalism meets timeless craftsmanship
Founded in 2013 by a Parisian couple, Léo et Violette designs leather goods that blend functionality with elegance. Every bag is imagined in their Parisian studio, where clean lines and refined proportions take center stage. There are no logos or flashy hardware, just elevated simplicity, designed to age gracefully!
All pieces are handcrafted in Italy or Spain using full-grain leather and suede. The result: timeless staples with practical features and a modern silhouette that slips seamlessly into your wardrobe.
Maéva’s take: Perfect for everyday wear, capsule wardrobes, and anyone drawn to soft structure and discreet luxury.

RSVP Paris
Limited editions, maximum charm
RSVP, short for Répondez S’il Vous Plaît, founded in 2015, is built on the idea of intentional fashion. Each bag is made in Italy from leather remnants originally sourced for luxury maisons, then released in limited batches of just 500 pieces. Every piece is numbered, giving it a unique identity!
Inspired by the art de vivre, RSVP combines Parisian sophistication with vintage silhouettes. Their styles often include curved lines, structured handles, and playful touches that stand out without overpowering your look.
Maéva’s take: If you value craftsmanship and love pieces with personality, RSVP Paris is one to watch. Small-batch luxury with a story behind every stitch.

Ateliers Auguste
Structure, function, and architectural influence
Designed in Paris and crafted in Italy, Ateliers Auguste is a modern take on functional elegance. Founded by two brothers in 2018, the brand is inspired by iconic architects like Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. The aesthetic is clean and contemporary, but always purposeful.
Each piece is made from full-grain leather sourced from certified Italian tanneries. With bold lines, minimalist hardware, and durable construction, these are bags designed to carry you through city life with confidence.
Maéva’s take: For those who love smart design, quiet strength, and bags that feel as practical as they do beautiful.
