The Story
THE TABARIN
A nod to the legendary Bal Tabarin, once a vibrant landmark of Parisian nightlife in the 9th arrondissement, now long gone. A place devoted to art and pleasure, it drew the Tout-Paris, eager to dance and lose themselves in its costumed balls.
From Joséphine Baker to Mistinguett, from Maurice Chevalier to Jacques Tati, countless iconic figures once graced its stage. True to the Parisian roots of the 9th arrondissement where Germaine Guérin was born, raised, and lived her entire life, the Tabarin bag pays tribute to this emblematic place.

HOW TO WEAR
THE LEATHER MOMENT
GRAINED CALFSKIN LEATHER
The quality of leather lies in its grain, which is why we only use full-grain leather.
Our grained calfskin stands out for its fine grain and subtle sheen, revealing the natural characteristics of the hide. Its supple yet resilient hand, combined with a dry, springy touch, makes it an easy‑care leather that softens beautifully over time.
Germaine Guérin Wrapping
Since the 1950s, 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 vanilla yellow known as the “cornichon” (gherkin).
All of our boxes and paper bags are made in France, as are the silk paper and the Germaine Guérin ribbon. The 100% cotton dust bag that protects our handbags is made in Italy.
