Cowhide leather35 x 25 x 8 cm4 zippered pockets
One touch of Le NINO is enough to understand its appeal: smooth and lustrous cowhide leather with deep highlights that shift in tone depending on the light, and tone-on-tone stitched seams that define every panel. This briefcase measuring 35 x 25 x 8 cm was designed for active days: its front features two front flap pockets, closed by snap buttons and zippers, where you can slip in your phone, transit card, or notebook. A side zippered pocket and an interior zippered pocket complete the storage, while the main compartment holds files and documents. It can be carried by hand using its two leather handles, or over the shoulder thanks to its shoulder strap equipped with bronze-colored snap hooks. Two shades are available: Marron, a cognac brown with copper highlights, and Chocolat, darker and deeper. Natural variations in the leather make each bag slightly unique.

The material
A smooth and lustrous cowhide leather
Le NINO is made of cowhide leather, a young bovine hide with a fine grain, prized in leather goods for its supple feel and durability. Its surface here presents a lustrous, almost glazed appearance that highlights the veins and small natural irregularities of the hide, which are clearly visible in our close-up photos.
These marks are not defects: they are proof of the material's natural origin and make every bag a unique piece. Over time and with handling, the leather will develop a softer, darker patina in the most used areas, such as the handles and pocket flaps. It is this evolution, unique to natural leathers, that distinguishes a bag you keep for years from an accessory you simply replace.

A bag with character
The front of Le NINO is built around two symmetrical flap pockets, separated by a central tab where the main zipper pull sits. Each flap closes with a snap button and hides a zippered closure: a double level of security for items you want to keep handy.
At the back, a horizontal zipper runs across the width, and under the base, the leather is assembled in stitched panels. The shoulder strap combines woven textile webbing and a leather strip, finished with bronze-colored snap hooks that match the zipper pulls. An unapologetic vintage look, in the spirit of reporter bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Le NINO made of genuine leather?
Yes. Le NINO is made of cowhide leather, a young bovine hide renowned for its fine grain, suppleness, and long-term durability. Its surface is smooth and lustrous, showing the natural veins and small marks of the skin. These variations make each bag unique: the shade, shine, and grain may slightly differ from one item to another, and from the photos. With use, the leather develops a patina and becomes even more beautiful, especially on the handles and flaps.
What are the dimensions of the bag?
Le NINO measures 35 cm long, 25 cm high, and 8 cm deep. It is a rather slim briefcase format that slides easily under the arm, on a train seat, or between two files. It allows you to carry standard documents, a notebook, a tablet, and small everyday items distributed among its various pockets. For a laptop, we advise you to compare these measurements with those of your device before ordering.
How many pockets does it have?
Le NINO is very well organized. On the front, two exterior zippered pockets are each covered by a flap closed with a snap button: ideal for a phone, keys, or a transit card. On the side, a side zippered pocket holds small, flat items. Inside, a zippered pocket protects valuables, such as a wallet or passport. The main compartment remains dedicated to files and documents. In total, there are four zippered pockets in addition to the main compartment.
How can Le NINO be carried?
Le NINO offers two ways to carry it. By hand, thanks to its two leather handles sewn on either side of the main zipper, like a classic briefcase. Over the shoulder or cross-body, thanks to its shoulder strap, which combines textile webbing and a leather strip and attaches with two bronze-colored snap hooks. This carry style is particularly practical for commuting or walking when you want to keep your hands free for a coffee or your phone.
What is the difference between Marron and Chocolat?
Both shades share exactly the same model, the same cowhide leather, and the same storage layout. Marron is a luminous cognac brown with copper highlights that accentuate the lustrous, vintage effect of the leather; it pairs very well with denim, beige, or blue. Chocolat is darker and deeper, for a more discreet and formal look that works well with grey, navy, or black. In both cases, the patina will develop gradually with use.
How do I care for this lustrous leather?
Dust Le NINO regularly with a soft, dry cloth. A few times a year, apply a thin layer of colorless nourishing cream suitable for smooth leathers, testing on a discreet area first, then polish with a clean cloth to revive the shine. If the bag gets wet, blot it without rubbing and let it dry naturally, away from any heat source. Avoid alcohol, solvents, and household cleaners. Store it padded with paper in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct light.
Is it a good gift idea?
Le NINO makes a lovely gift for anyone who appreciates durable objects and fine materials. Its briefcase format is suitable for professionals, teachers, graduating students, or creative types who carry notebooks and documents daily. Its cowhide leather that develops a patina makes it an object that gains character over the years, and its two shades adapt to anyone's taste: Marron for a warm style, Chocolat for more sobriety.
