« I like to compose usefulness and aesthetics for today’s women. »

The daughter of a craftsman, Chris Murner developed a taste for leatherwork very early on. At 15, she began her training in a classical workshop in Geneva. Rich in this know-how, she set up on her own in the 1980s. Since then, she has offered collections inspired both by her travels and by artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian. She also does custom orders.

« Each bag has its particularities and has about forty pieces to assemble. »

In his workshop L’Antre-Peaux, Chris Murner offers a world tour in bags. With her expert hand, she makes her bags and accessories from design to finish. She likes to integrate unexpected materials into her creations such as wood or ceramics and to offer innovative shapes and volumes. Having at heart to transmit its know-how, it trains apprentices.
