The origin of leather goods and small leather goods
Appearing in Morocco, the expression maroquinerie initially refers to the work and tanning of leather. It was in the 12th century that leather goods became popular in Europe. The industries working with leather were multiplying more and more. The target clientele was then rather bourgeois. The work was laborious and difficult for the skinners; the future “maroquiniers”. Abandoned by the nobility in favor of more rural populations, leather goods regained their letters of nobility thanks to furs, purses and other small bags of the time. In the 20th century, leather goods enjoyed real success, particularly thanks to the beginnings of the automobile and interior coverings. Having become much easier to access, leather goods were then available in bags and other accessories to become…. the small leather goods that we know today!
