Our heritage
Léo et Violette is us, Léo Dominguez and Violette Polchi, two passionate Parisian partners who have shared our lives for almost 10 years. We launched this brand together in 2013, building on the success of the debut of our first project on Kickstarter. Our mission has always stayed the same: to deliver refined, lasting and purposeful products. By choosing to remove all the middlemen, we sought to build a 21st century brand: 100% transparent and in direct connection with you, our clients. Welcome to our world, welcome to Léo and Violette!
All products are crafted in Paris, at Studio Léo et Violette, with a relentless search for elegance and functionality. Violette oversees all of the designs and our workshops in Italy and Spain support us in the development of the collections.
The pieces are then crafted in two skilled workshops: one in Naples, Italy and the other in Ubrique, Spain. Whether in Italy or Spain, production is carried out 100% locally. With the vast majority of the steps carried out by hand.
We are the sole sellers of our products. We do not work with any resellers or middlemen. This is why our products are offered at the lowest possible prices, all year round. We never hold sales or private sales, ensuring you to always shop at the right price whatever the time of year.
Do you have an idea of the cost of making a bag?
We expose the inner workings of the production. Openness being a fundamental value of our business and this since our beginnings on Kickstarter.
The workshop in Italy
We stepped into our 1st workshop in Naples in 2013, at 22 years old, with no experience. They received and guided us with great warmth and expertise. Today we are their largest client and it is a source of immense pride for them and for us.
