- Great service: Praised by buyers for communication and care throughout projects.
I learned saddle-stitching in a Hermès-trained workshop before opening Atelier Rive on the banks of the Saône. Everything I make — totes, satchels, small goods — starts as a full hide of vegetable-tanned leather from a Tuscan tannery and is stitched entirely by hand, two needles at a time. My pieces are built to be repaired, not replaced: I keep patterns for every commission so your bag can come home for care years later.

Testimonials
For Custom travel satchel
Amélie sent leather swatches, sketches, and progress photos at every stage. The satchel is the best-made thing I own.
For Saône tote, monogrammed
The stitching is unreal. Arrived beautifully packed with a care kit.
For Weekender No. 4
Took a week longer than quoted (she warned me early), but worth every day of the wait.
Bought the bifold off the shelf — edges like glass. Came back for a belt.
