Uppeal™ Collection

Designed in Paris, the maison’s bags and small accessories share one signature material: Uppeal™. Vegan is not our selling point; it is our starting point.

A plant-based material of Italian origin, Uppeal™ is crafted in Florence from apple residue, in the Florentine tradition of working fine materials. Plain, it has a smooth, satiny surface; it also comes with a lizard effect. Its origin and care are detailed on our Materials page.

Each line that uses it has its own collection: the Mini Paname, the Brigitte bag, the five formats of the Kromatik line, the Compagnon wallet, the Men’s Wallet, the Zipped Card Holder and the belts.

Bags and accessories in Uppeal™, crafted from apple residue

Designed in Paris, the Mini Paname is the signature piece of the Maison. In Uppeal™, it keeps its clasp and its removable brass chain, in plain black, camel or Burgundy, or with a lizard effect in black, red or blue-gray. The Brigitte, a crossbody bag with a flap, comes in two versions: Couture, entirely in Uppeal™, and Oxymore, where smooth Uppeal™ meets recycled microsuede. The Marilyn pairs Uppeal™ with recycled microsuede or a leopard print. The Kromatik line offers five formats, the Pretty, Jolly, Journey, City and Lively, either combining Uppeal™ with nylon or in full Uppeal™.

Among the small accessories, the Compagnon wallet comes in Couture, with twelve card slots, and in Oxymore, more compact, with eight. The Zipped Card Holder closes with a zip that runs all the way around, holding ten card slots, a bill pocket and a zipped coin pouch. The Coin Purse closes with a rounded flap and a magnetic snap. The collection also includes the Men’s Wallet, in black, navy or brown, and two women’s belts, electric blue and red.

Uppeal™ has been the Maison’s signature material since April 2018. It starts with apple residue from the Italian food industry: the raw material is collected in Bolzano, in northern Italy, then crafted in Florence, in the Florentine tradition of working fine materials. It was formerly known as Apple Skin; in 2023, its maker simply renamed it. When the Maison launched at Veggie World in April 2018, its Eclipse was among the first French handbags in an apple-based material.

Plain Uppeal™ keeps a smooth, satiny surface; the lizard pattern gives each piece its own shifting sheen. Each model is designed in Paris, and each product page lists the lining composition. A damp cloth, with a little soap if needed, is all Uppeal™ requires; avoid chemical products. The lizard-effect pieces are gathered in the Lizard collection, and several of these shapes also come in a bamboo-based material.
