Leo et Violette

Léo et Violette is a Paris leather goods label founded in 2013 by couple Léo Dominguez and Violette Polchi. It sells direct-to-consumer online, cutting intermediaries to price Italian-made bags below comparable labels. Leather comes from Italian tanneries, largely vegetable-tanned, and workshops in Italy handle production. The catalogue centres on pared-back everyday shapes: the Violette bucket bag introduced in 2015, the Gina tote in Maxi and Nano sizes, the Nova, plus men's briefcases, backpacks and small accessories. Most pieces can be personalised with hot-stamped or gold-leaf initials.
