The story
The Walter card-holder
The origin of the name Walter comes from Germaine Guérin’s husband. Walter was her life companion, and she married him in 1924 at the town hall of Paris’s 1st arrondissement, facing the Louvre. She was just 30 years old at the time, and her handbags were already enjoying great success.
Have you noticed? The shape of the card pocket cutouts pays tribute to the evening clutches created by Germaine Guérin in the late 1920s.

LEATHER MOMENT
GOATSKIN LEATHER
The quality of leather lies in its grain, which is why we only use full-grain leather.
Our goatskin stands out with its beautifully textured grain and a subtle sheen that highlights the natural characteristics of the goatskin. Its firm and substantial feel, along with a slightly dry and textured touch, makes it easy to care for. Over time, it softens and develops a satin finish, gaining in smoothness and radiance.
It's a wrap with Germaine
Since the 1960s, our boxes have drawn inspiration from the iconic colours of the Paris Métropolitain and its famous entrances designed by Hector Guimard: the muted green of sculpted cast iron and the pale yellow known as the “cornichon” (gherkin).
Whether for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, the experience is always the same: every detail is carefully crafted, every moment a delight.
