Sébastien Germès and Camille Levai are partners in life and in business. They refer themselves as “Artistes Amoureux” and their love of art, design and travel reveals itself in their creations.
Having worked in the luxury and leather goods industries earlier in their careers, Sebastien and Camille decided to launch “Craie” in France in 2012. “Craie” means “chalk” in French and is a tribute to the class rooms of their youth, filled with fun, imagination and creativity. They wanted their brand to explore and develop new styles and techniques that would enhance and emphasize the beauty and functionality of leather.
The result is an evolving - but always striking - collection of leather goods in a huge variety of colours and shapes. The design duo develop new styles every season, all the while re-inventing their signature pieces every six months with new leathers, finishes and colourways. They then produce their collections with the help of their expert craftsmen in their own Moroccan workshop. And all leathers used are developed exclusively for Craie in partnership with tanneries in France, Italy and Morocco. While they are best known for their “Maths” satchel – a cross body bag that is both modular and reversible (and is our favourite here at All Who Wonder) – all their creations have the commonality of being audacious and playful.
Indeed, we are proud to be the exclusive distributors of Craie Studio collections in Australia and New Zealand since mid 2018. The brand has had a fantastic reception so far, and we hope to continue to expand the distribution of Craie Studio bags over the next few years.
We are currently selling a small range of Craie bags online. Our stockists also carry these bags. Please contact us for a full stockist list.
