Our Story.
Always, De Grimm has encapsulated in its creations what we believe in: the beauty of fine craftsmanship, the dignity it evokes, the excellence it calls forth.
A vision of beauty perpetuated like a ritual of women, sharpening the gaze of girls, affirming the erudition of women.
De Grimm essentially conveys a certain way of being, a typically Bordeaux art of living, passed down from mother to daughter like a family jewel, as much a part of one's heritage as something one carries with oneself.
De Grimm,
Fine Bordeaux craftsmanship.
TRADITION
For De Grimm, tradition serves to perpetuate craftsmanship and the standards of good taste. It respectfully carries knowledge from one generation to the next, sharpens perceptions, and adds value to the work of the hands. We celebrate the finest traditions and give them form in our creations.
For without traditions, our creations would be hollow and fickle.
Associated values: conviction, belief, culture, transmission, respect…
HEDONISM
For De Grimm, Epicurean pleasures are intrinsically linked to Bordeaux culture. We draw inspiration from this taste for the finer things and this culture of gastronomy in our choice of leathers, in the shape, use, and colors we give to our products, in the positive emotions we convey, and in the bond of complicity we help to weave among women.
For without hedonism, our creations would be tasteless.
Associated values: pleasure, emotion, fulfillment, optimism…
ESTEEM
De Grimm evokes a femininity that is assertive, self-assured, neither rebellious nor submissive. This value stems from our genesis, that of a pioneering woman entrepreneur, eager to pass on this inner strength to her daughter. This esteem is reflected in our customer relationship, marked by kindness and mutual respect. A self-esteem that is subtly expressed in our products and in our vision of aesthetics, which does not impose itself upon the eye but is discerned with nuance.
For without esteem, our creations would be ostentatious.
Associated values: consideration, empathy, kindness…

We've been invited to discuss about our difficulties to export during an interview in our studio
Luxury leather bags
Thanks to a traditional and famous know-how recognized around the world, the French luxury leather goods industry is exported everywhere. Many prestigious French brands have operations in all continents, providing a magnificent showcase window to luxury leather bags made in France.
De Grimm proposes unique and original products, designed throughout the generations by the Massip family since 1945. Nowadays, Olivier - our master artisan saddler-leatherworker with over 30 years of experience - exercises his talents in developing, cutting, mounting, sewing and finishing our range of luxury leather bags for women. He's in charge of our family-owned leather workshop, rooted in the heart of Bordeaux (France), and shares his immense knowledge with apprentices or people in professional reconversion.
Without any subcontracting, using quality material and accessories, De Grimm keeps his product promises with authenticity, for those who are seeking meaning, values, and local in their consumption.
