The choice of our leathers

At Balzac Paris, we select our leathers with the greatest care. They must meet precise criteria: certified, of European origin, vegetable tanned or chrome-free.

We adapt our selection of leathers according to the desired characteristics and the desired stylistic rendering for each product. We mainly favor cowhide leathers for their distinctive qualities: smooth and robust, guaranteeing excellent hold and great durability. Over time, these leathers develop a delicate patina, revealing all their singularity and character.

Our vegan alternative

Apple skin is invited into the Balzac Paris wardrobe


ETHICS AT THE HEART OF OUR DECISIONS


 To meet the convictions of customers who attach particular importance to animal welfare, we are committed to offering creations made from alternatives to leather. Among these solutions, we use apple skin in particular. Both aesthetic, sustainable and eco-responsible, this material fits harmoniously into our circularity approach.


OUR COMMITMENTS TO PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT & REDUCE OUR IMPACT ON CLIMATE DISRUPTION


 In fact, leather made from apple skin waste has a lower environmental impact than traditional leather.
