TIBÈRE BENOIST D'ANTHENAY

Anthenay

Munois, France

“Less but better.”

Tibère was born in Paris and spent half his life in Toronto which is where his passion for crafts and design was ignited. In 2010, he began a graphic design course which taught him digital tools and skills that have accompanied him in the making of Anthenay. While already being interested in many handcrafts, and with a desire for complete freedom in creativity with a need for a manual approach to design, the encounter of A.B.K leathercraft in Manhattan triggered a focus onto leather.

Value in the details

Timeless Craftsmanship

The techniques and the tools seen in Tibère's workshop are comparable to those that have been used for centuries before machines and petroleum came into play. Hand cut, hand stitched, beveled and waxed edges; everything is made slowly, by hand and with the utmost care for all the details that are necessary for beautiful, long lasting bags.

You might wonder...

How can I take care of my bag?

Full grain Aniline vegetable tanned leather is the most natural of all leathers and is a little more delicate than others. As it ages, little scuffs and marks will blend in but until it has reached its full patina it is best to avoid scratches and stains but most of all intense source of heat such as heaters and boiling water. If unused for a long time, it is best to keep away from the sun.
