When she went looking for the bag of her dreams, Edwina de Charette la Contrie had no idea she would be opening a door that would turn her life upside down. Being demanding and always in search of perfection, she very soon realised that if she couldn’t find her heart’s desire, she’d have to make it herself. That’s where everything started, the encounter with leather, its sensual textures and its smells made her plunge headlong into the world of leather goods. She very soon became fascinated by traditional techniques and then, because one thing leads to another, she opened a boutique-workshop in Rue de la Sourdière. LaContrie was founded and is totally dedicated to luxury craftsmanship, where every intended and controlled action encounters the decidedly contemporary forms designed by Edwina. Another thing that will delight quite a lot of you, laContrie also offers a personalisation service where you can choose the leather, the texture, the colour, the lining and the fastenings down to the tiniest details. And who hasn’t dreamed of owning that special bag upon which time leaves but a gorgeous patina and that will live on for many years in the hands of your children. An encounter with an extreme personality, absolutely full of life and profoundly human.
