Le Tanneur Just Dropped the Ultimate Émie Bag—and We Are Obsessed!

While we all know the big names in the handbag world, there are plenty of under-the-radar labels worth getting to know, and Le Tanneur Paris is one of them. Founded over a century ago by leatherworker Charles Bonnardel and third-generation tanner Francisque Bornex, the French brand has built its reputation on a love of quality leather and timeless craftsmanship.

At the heart of Le Tanneur’s designs is full-grain leather, prized for its natural texture and untouched surface. Rather than masking the leather’s character, the brand lets the grain speak for itself, making the material just as much a part of the design as the silhouette.

The Émie Is Still the One to Beat

Today, the collection spans a range of shapes and styles, from the contemporary Céleste Hobo to more classic, everyday pieces. But the Émie is the one we keep coming back to. With its signature leatherwork and thoughtful craftsmanship, it’s a perfect example of what makes Le Tanneur feel both timeless and relevant.

Now, we’re revisiting the Émie bag with the brand’s latest drop: a special collaboration with Charlotte Groeneveld, the face behind @TheFashionGuitar. Charlotte x Le Tanneur takes the classic Émie we know and love and reimagines it in an extra-large version designed to fit the chic, on-the-go vibe of New York City life.

What we really love about this collaboration is the bag’s soft suede interior and luxe gray hue, which capture a bit of the brand’s Parisian spirit.

Why We’re Loving Gray for Fall (and Beyond)

Gray has been having a major moment lately, and from a practical standpoint, it makes a lot of sense. It’s neutral, but it’s not black, which can sometimes feel stale or, dare I say, boring. I

t’s subtle, polished, and understated, offering a clean hue that feels perfect for fall but can still be worn year-round. Gray will never go out of style, and it’s one of those colors that feels inherently luxe—and on the Émie bag, it works so well.

The Émie has always been one of our favorite bags from Le Tanneur, thanks to its timeless yet modern feel and grab-and-go functionality, making it perfect for city life from New York to Paris and beyond.

Whether carried by hand or worn over the shoulder, it’s an effortlessly chic everyday companion. Still, there’s something about the gray version that makes it feel like the ultimate Émie, and it has us falling for the bag all over again.
