Saint-Clair Messenger 54 faubourg Edition in Noir Arpège leather

The Saint-Clair Messenger Bag draws its inspiration from 18th-century royal cases, once worn with an effortless nobility that elevated every stride. Its clean, structured lines lend a subtle elegance to any silhouette. The distinctive pairing of structured, smooth Symphonie leather for the base with the supple softness of Arpège leather for the flap gives this timeless piece a unique and modern personality.

Arpège leather is a supple, smooth nubuck calfskin with a velvety, almost sensual touch. Over time, it develops a soft sheen on areas of friction, glowing naturally and revealing its full radiance.

Symphonie leather is a vegetable-tanned leather with a silky, waxed touch that develops a beautiful patina over time and use. Its firmness and structure make it the ideal material for assembling and shaping the bags of the Saint-Clair collection.
