Leather goods shops Clermont-Ferrand

The young French designer Florent Poirier was well inspired when he decided in 2010 to reinvent the leather goods of yesteryear. Its vintage collections are inspired by school binders, old mailbags and luggage from the 1970s. New colours regularly appear. Since this year, capsule collections, and therefore temporary collections, have been offered. Made of buffalo or goat leather, each model is handcrafted in its workshops in India. This shop, at the foot of the cathedral, is in harmony with the brand and its products, resolutely retro with its patinated wooden furniture, its pallets and the omnipresent smell of leather.

At Fantasio, the choice is there! Among beautiful brands such as Le Tanneur, Kipling, Lancaster, Mac Douglas, Guess, Gil Holsters, Sequoia, Paquetage or Texier, get a small handbag, a leather bag for your computer, a beautiful belt, an umbrella or the whole range of the elegant traveller. Indeed, for your stays, a range of suitcases is proposed. Here again, you will find all the modern brands and even the largest piece remains light. The welcome is warm and excellent, from advice to possible alterations to your favourite bag, Fantasio is one of those brands that you should definitely keep in your address book. The quality is there, the proof is in the pudding.

The boutique at the foot of the cathedral, opened in 2018, is the second point of sale for the brand, which was born in Besse, in premises still in use today. Originally, Laëticia worked as a costume designer for entertainment companies. In 2006, she began designing colorful, sparkling bags and accessories. All her series, with their now well-known designs, are made in fabric and imitation leather. While the online boutique has contributed to the success of Bobine à Pois, the pretty shop window never ceases to catch the eye. You'll see these bags on the arms of Clermont-Ferrand women.
