Behind every creation from the house of .Kate Lee lies the finest leather, an essential noble material, and behind each of these leathers is a timeless craftsmanship that transcends the years. The result is high-quality, innovative, and diverse collections. The collections are colorful, modern, and feminine.
The leather, the grain, the tanning, the dyeing... meticulous research across various Italian and French tanneries culminates in the creation of varied styles that you can discover each season. Choosing the leather is one of the first steps in the creation process and immediately sets the tone for the style of the bag. Reptile-embossed or crinkled leather leans towards a rock-inspired vibe, while smooth leather brings a touch of softness for lovers of classic styles.
At .Kate Lee, the variety of leathers and colors allows each of you to find what suits you best. It’s the possibility of staying completely true to yourself while accessorizing your outfit as you please.
Everything comes together to create a must-have collection of handbags, blending technique and creativity, classicism and modernity, femininity and practicality.
Leather craftsmanship is an essential part of the creative process, and the quality of the materials is reflected in its texture, suppleness, and finishes. Over time, the leather will develop a patina that enhances its elegance and nobility. The creation of each leather piece reveals a complexity that is often unexpected: leather cutting, texture, hand-embossing, painting, assembly... no detail is overlooked, thanks to an undeniable commitment to quality.
With a focus on eco-responsibility, the house continuously seeks to steer its lines of bags and small leather goods towards a more sustainable and ethical fashion. Nothing is wasted, and by avoiding excess, leather scraps are repurposed into cardholders, pouches, wallets, and even new iconic pieces, all while maintaining this precious craftsmanship and attention to detail. After all, there’s no need to choose between style and sustainability.
The importance of this work is reflected in the first instinct of customers when they enter the .Kate Lee boutique in Paris: to touch and try, where suddenly, the quality makes an impression.
You’ll sometimes find iconic models within the house of .Kate Lee created in different leathers within the same line. This diversity allows you to have the format that suits you best in your favorite leather.
