A brief history of the satchel: Carrying one's world with you

From travel bag to power bag

The history of leather goods is intrinsically linked to that of autonomy. In antiquity, the "scarf" was a masculine attribute, suspended from the belt to carry money. For women, the bag became a symbol of emancipation as they entered the public sphere. Being able to carry their own belongings also meant no longer depending on anyone for their travels.

The satchel: the legacy of the messengers

The ancestor of our laptop bag is the messenger bag, used by mounted couriers to carry royal dispatches. This bag was a vehicle for information and movement. By reinterpreting this format for the modern woman, Vôtres pays homage to this function of transmission. Carrying a messenger bag is to affirm that you have a message, a mission, a direction.

The symbolism of the jewelry box

The wallet, for its part, has always been the guardian of secrets and resources. In fairy tales, the inexhaustible purse is the talisman of fortune. At Vôtres, we see in this object a symbol of protection for your capital – not only financial, but also emotional and intellectual.

By wearing Vôtres leather goods, you are not just wearing a fashion accessory; you are joining a lineage of women who, for centuries, have used leather goods as a lever of freedom to explore the world.
