External Stitching

External Stitching

Visible exterior stitching:

the stitching remains exposed on the outside of the bag.

Exposed edges:

the leather edges are hand-painted and polished rather than folded inward.

Rigid structure:

retains its shape with greater firmness, even when empty.

Sharp, well-defined corners:

precise lines create a clean, architectural profile.

Internal Stitching

Internal Stitching

Internal stitching:

the bag is crafted inside out and then turned right side out, concealing the stitching within the bag.

Folded-in edges:

the leather edges are folded inward, creating a smooth and discreet finish.

Flexible structure:

offers greater suppleness and naturally adapts to everyday use.

Rounded corners:

soft contours create a more organic appearance.

The profile that reveals the difference

Sellier

Sellier

The Sellier construction is distinguished by its visible exterior stitching, giving the bag precise lines, defined corners, and a structured silhouette. The result is an elegant, architectural, and timeless aesthetic.

Retourné

Retourné

In the Retourne construction, the bag is crafted inside out and then turned to its final form, concealing the stitching within. The result is a softer silhouette with rounded corners and a naturally supple structure.

Both techniques are executed entirely by hand, by specialist artisans, preserving the excellence and tradition of the maison.
