Fashion stores Chauvigny

One thing led to another, and his reflections led him to handcrafted leather goods. In his workshop-boutique, where he welcomes you by appointment, Xavier Piganeau stiffens his (French) cotton canvas, cuts his (Italian) vegetable-tanned leather inserts, assembles his pieces and gives birth to elegant bags and briefcases. With their varied sizes and colors, screen-printed motifs and fine finishes, Monébari bags have that little something extra that will make you fall in love with them. Some models are on sale. Otherwise, place your order and pick up your piece quickly.

This small, colorful boutique is home to Delphine Genet, artisan d'art. After a career in industry and the birth of her^3rd daughter, she decided to return to her first passion: sewing. In her workshop in La Villedieu-du-Clain, she designs and makes clothes for children, women and men. You'll find dresses, coats and sweaters, as well as accessories like these beautiful needle-woven beaded bracelets. Ask Delphine for a unique creation with a twist! We also feature creations by local artisans.

In the town of Chauvigny you'll find the "Histoire de cuir" boutique run by David Brissonnet, an artisan leatherworker with a passion for leather. He specializes in the creation of full-grain leather belts, which he selects himself from his supplier in Parthenay. He attaches great importance to the quality of his products and refuses to use inferior leathers. In addition to belts, he also offers small leather goods, and can work on furniture and motorcycle upholstery projects. David Brissonnet obtained a CAP in leatherworking through VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience), and now trains trainees. He also devotes part of his time to the creation of vénerie clothing, due to the growing demand for hunting products.
