Originally, the ballotin is a small cardboard box, simply tied, designed to hold chocolates.
Inspired by this everyday object filled with desire, the Ballotin bag designed by Stéphanie Césaire preserves its spirit — one of discreet luxury and intimate pleasure.
A minimalist designer bag with a unique silhouette
Its soft yet structured volume, reinterpreted in leather, evokes a precious parcel where minimalism meets an original form of sophistication.
Its elongated baguette silhouette reveals pure, naturally balanced curves.
A fine sliding leather strap encircles its shape like a delicate string game. With an instinctive gesture, it transforms, adjusts, and subtly redefines the way it is worn.
A versatile luxury bag with multiple ways to wear
Carried at the arm with double handles, it moves lightly.
Worn on the shoulder with a single strap, it lengthens and asserts itself with effortless ease.
Held as a mini handle, it becomes a tactile object, between accessory and precious case.
The Ballotin bag offers a sensory experience, combining refined design with versatile wear.
A handmade leather bag crafted in Paris
Each Ballotin bag is entirely handcrafted in our Paris workshop, following the highest standards of French leather craftsmanship.
Cutting, edge finishing, sanding, and the unique construction that allows the leather tie to slide smoothly are all performed by hand by our skilled artisan.
Full-grain leather from certified French tanneries
Our leathers are selected for their texture, visual depth, and refined colors.
They enhance the Ballotin’s minimalist lines, its controlled suppleness, and its delicate touch.
Our full-grain leathers come from ISO 9001-certified French tanneries and are carefully inspected at every stage of production.
