Stop by The Leather Florist, a Pop-up Store by Polène
Polène’s The Leather Florist in Paris is a must-visit for its playful leather flowers (display pieces or bag charms!) — an inspired way to upcycle leather scraps
Off to Paris before 27 July for the summer break? Stop by The Leather Florist, a pop-up store by Polène that is located at 67 rue Montmartre. The brand is welcoming budding florists and bloom-lovers to have their own bouquets arranged — except these flowers are made of leather and carefully crafted by its artisans. In the pop-up sits one of these very leather artisans, and the space, which is designed as an “open atelier”, allows visitors to watch as each blossom is put together. Although the brand’s upcycled leather flower collection isn’t exactly new (it was introduced last year), fresh colours are now available. And here, the florals aren’t just available as display pieces for the home as Polène has introduced bloom-shaped bag charms. While one is exploring the Florist, she can get items personalised with her initials — the atelier is also home to a Polène embossing machine.
