The Creative Director
“I wanted to create bags that are exceptional but also affordable. Two things that don’t usually go hand in hand but I couldn’t see why not.
Get on our list as it means you won’t miss out. We make in small numbers and they do sell out.”
Featuring the emblematic combination
Featuring the emblematic combination of leather and natural raffia, this unlined collection exudes its lightweight charm towards fabulous fun summer days and enchanting nights.
The Silhouette
The Brigitte takes its shape from a shell, inspired by a carefree life by the sea.
With textured, crunchy hand-crocheted raffia from Madagascar and smooth calf skin leather, the Brigitte is a pleasure to hold and to wear. It is ready to take you on a journey with unescapable style.
Beauty In the Detail.
Beyond its striking shape and texture, The Brigitte has a profound detail.
The zipped double leather lined top closure keeps your belongings secure but also ensures it keeps its rounded shape, like an open shell. It’s a beautiful detail.
Elevated Touches
The new CC zipper puller has jewellery-like appeal. It makes opening and closing your bag very easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have any questions?
We use tanneries in Italy, Turkey and Pakistan who source their hides from Australia, Europe and South America. All our tanneries must be certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG) who ensure ethical and sustainable sourcing. We prefer Gold Standard. Cecily Clune specifies most of our leathers to be made for our particular products' use and look.
We exclusively use ethically-sourced leathers for their premium quality, longevity and circularity. Animal leather is a by-product of the meat industry and is a highly efficient use of resources. Chemically it is a collagen and inherently natural and will biodegrade. The alternative is “vegan leathers” that use strong chemicals and have high water use to create a product that is similar to leather but is NOT biodegradable. The publicity for vegan leather is often misleading. Leather is a natural product and with The Leather Working Group stewardship is no longer a hazardous industry. Our bag designs are not trend driven and made to last for many years when properly cared for, ultimately producing less waste to landfill, and having less long term impact on the environment.
While we design, sample and quality check all of our products in our Geelong, Victoria office, we do not manufacture in Australia. There are not the resources available in Australia unfortunately. We have chosen to partner with small ateliers run by families with whom we have a close relationship. All our designs are a collaboration with these talented artisans. We manufacture in Hui Zhou China with a Japanese company. Oshima San personally makes the patterns with me and oversees every aspect of workmanship. We are also starting to manufacture in Izmir, Turkey where the traditions of leather making have been ongoing since the 15th Century. The family run atelier there is able to source leather locally from tanneries used by couture houses of the world and together we make magic.
We know our products are made ethically because we work closely with our partners and visit them regularly and see first-hand how things are done. We do not work with huge factories with assembly lines. Our ateliers are small and usually in one or two rooms with a few tables with people working together. Most of their staff have been with them for many years. Their craft is valued and nurtured.
