Carouge

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

Daughter of a craftsman, Chris Murner developed her taste for leatherwork very early on. At the age of 15, she began her training in a classic workshop in Geneva. With this know-how, she set up her own business in the 1980s. Since then, she has offered collections inspired by her travels as well as by artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian. She also carries out 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.
