"Le Mépris" cordovan
Named after the classic film Le Mépris, this limited-edition clutch captures a mood of dramatic sophistication, bridging raw luxury with clean architectural lines.
The exterior features marbled shell cordovan (one of the world's most coveted, durable, and lustrous leathers), celebrated for its deep, multi-tonal depth and smooth finish. The body is thoughtfully contrasted with rich, vegetable-tanned brown leather that will age beautifully, developing an exquisite patina unique to its journey.
Designed for seamless versatility, the clutch transitions effortlessly from an evening hand-held piece to a shoulder bag. A hidden magnetic closure ensures a structured finish.
Every bag is hand cut, hand punched, and saddle stitched using a two-needle technique. Allow 2–4 weeks to ship.
Items with zippers and long shoulder straps are the only exception where machine stitching is used.
Height: 5.5" x width: 8" depth 2.5"
Autonomous Artistry leather goods are made from some of the finest leathers sourced from historic tanneries in Italy and the United States. Each piece is natural and entirely its own — variations in tone, texture, marks, or veining are not flaws. They are the story of the animal and the land it came from. With proper attention, your piece will only get better with time.
Keep it dry. Avoid contact with water, hand cream, hand sanitizer, makeup, and perfume. If the bag gets wet or comes into contact with any of these, blot gently with a soft, dry, light-colored cloth — never rub.
Made to order — allow 2–4 weeks before your piece ships.
Domestic shipping is complimentary. International orders $35 flat rate.
Each bag arrives in a matte black rigid box with a cotton dust bag.
