Achille
150 €
The Achille is the leather purse one keeps in a pocket without a second thought — and notices every time it comes out. 12.5 × 8 cm: a compact format that slips in anywhere, without compromising on organisation. Four card slots, two interior compartments, golden YKK Excella zip. The sheathed and topstitched motifs running across the full-grain cowhide are set by hand at the workshop on 6 rue Labie — each shape cut, positioned and pressed into its housing. That degree of precision on a 12 cm object reflects the same standard applied to the larger bags. The gusset opens wide without strain. Available in fulled vegetable-tanned leather or upcycled smooth leather, subject to stock. Edges dyed tone on tone, water-repellent canvas lining.

THE GESTURE
The motifs sheathed, set one by one.
The motifs on the Achille are set by hand: each shape is cut from a contrasting leather, positioned on the body of the purse according to a workshop template, then pressed into its mirror-cut housing. The topstitch that secures it runs 2 mm from the edge around the full circumference — a gesture repeated on every piece, regardless of format size.
This technique, identical on the large bag and the small purse, is the through-line of the Suki range. The edges are dyed tone on tone after assembly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything about the Achille.
Where is the Achille made?+
The Achille is entirely handmade in our Parisian atelier, at 6 rue Labie in the 17th arrondissement. From cutting to saddle stitching, every step takes place in Paris.
What leather do you use?+
We work exclusively with full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide, sourced from European tanneries committed to responsible practices. This leather develops a unique patina that grows more beautiful with time and use.
How do I care for my Suki Paris leather piece?+
Day to day, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store the piece in its cotton pouch, away from sunlight. To nourish the leather, apply a colourless nourishing milk (silicone-free) in a thin layer: once a month for daily use, once a season for occasional use. Avoid direct heat and household cleaners; if the piece gets caught in the rain, let it air-dry, then nourish it.
Can the inlaid motifs wear off?+
No. Unlike a print or an appliqué, our motifs are inlaid into the thickness of the leather. They are an integral part of the piece and do not fade with use. Only the patina will deepen their relief over time.
What are the delivery times?+
In-stock pieces ship within 48 to 72 business hours. Delivery is free within mainland France for any order over €200. For a personalised piece (engraving, marking), allow 7 to 10 additional days for production.
Can I return or exchange my purchase?+
Yes, you have 14 days from receipt to return a non-personalised piece in its original condition. Exchanges and refunds are processed within 7 business days of the parcel arriving back at our atelier.
Do you offer a personalisation service?+
Yes. We carry out hot-stamping (gold, silver or natural) on most of our pieces, up to 8 characters. Personalisation costs 20 € and adds 7 to 10 days to the production time.
