Karmyliege

Karmyliege was born from the desire to make you discover all the richness and history of cork, through collections inspired by you and for you! It was during a trip to Portugal that I discovered the history of a material that is both aesthetic and ecological: cork. In addition to this, you need to know more about it. The beauty of this material, discovered in a completely different form, really seduced me. Beyond its many qualities, cork tells a story, that of a country, Portugal. In addition to this, you need to know more about it. The work of cork represents in itself the main source of employment in this country , but it is also an ecological treasure that the Portuguese know better than anyone to preserve.

So I started by drawing some models. However, my sketches could not have seen the light of day, without the chance meeting of a wonderful Portuguese craftsman, specialist in this very particular material. In 2014, we therefore joined forces to create the first collection of Karmyliege bags. My wish is to offer you through this collaboration the best of cork leather goods. I spend a lot of time on site with him to develop the collections. This is a 4-handed job, combining the know-how of a small Portuguese family workshop and French elegance. Always with the objective of offering the best in cork leather goods, we use high-end cork with vegan and Portuguese dyes of course. Absolutely all the accessories making up the collections come from Portugal; a guarantee of quality at the time of made in China! As for jewelry, I continue to design and manufacture them myself in my workshop located in Saintes in Charente-Maritime. I want to highlight the material by making costume jewelry that is both simple and elegant, allowing each and every one of you to assert your style. Lightweight, waterproof, soft, refined and supple: cork is the leather of tomorrow. Karmyliege is also an ethical and family brand , which has received Vegan approval from PETA , the world's largest animal rights organization, as well as from ONE VOICE . This assures you of products without animal leather and colorations not tested on animals. So, whether you are looking for crafts, French creations, alternatives to leather , bags or natural jewelry, Karmyliege is at your disposal and puts all its heart into this adventure!
