Roussillon shopping bag Black Ebony

Roussillon black leather tote bag: the sober elegance of French handcrafted leather

A black leather tote bag that’s built to last

The Roussillon cabas bag in Ebony Black leather is much more than a fashion accessory. Handcrafted in France from genuine vegetable-tanned leather, it embodies a vision of leather goods where every detail is thought out, worked on and justified. Its compact size – 30 × 24 cm excluding handles – makes it an everyday companion equally at home on a shopping street, in a professional setting or on a casual outing.
It shares the same design as its big brother, the Roquebrune tote bag, but is lighter and easier to handle, designed for those who prefer the essentials without sacrificing quality.

Ebony Black, an absolute, timeless shade

Black is a color without compromise. On genuine vegetable-tanned leather, it takes on a particular density and depth, between matte and slightly satin, depending on the light. The Ebony Black color of the Roussillon tote bag is a full, intense black that goes with every outfit and through every season without ever going out of fashion.
With use, leather naturally develops a patina. It gains character, develops subtle nuances, and the black leather tote bag gradually acquires a unique signature, unique to the person who wears it every day.

Craftsmanship handed down over 25 years

Each Roussillon tote bag is handmade in Midipy’s partner workshops in the Tarn and Rhône regions, where French saddlery know-how has been handed down from generation to generation. Each step – cutting, assembly, sewing, double-thread topstitching, slice dyeing – is accomplished with precision and respect for tradition.
The leather used is vegetable-tanned, a natural process that preserves the grain of the material, promotes a harmonious patina and guarantees durability over time far superior to that of industrially-treated leathers.

Solid, functional design

The base of the Roussillon tote is studded and reinforced, ensuring impeccable stability when the bag is set down. It doesn’t tip or sag – it holds together, protecting its contents with the same rigor with which it was made. Its capacity, generous for its size, allows you to slip in documents, a tablet, groceries from the market or personal items for the day.

A black leather shopping bag made in France to last

The Roussillon tote carries the Fabriqué en France and Fait main labels. These certifications reflect a real commitment to local, controlled production and a transparent manufacturing chain. Choosing an artisanal black leather tote bag means choosing an object that lasts rather than a season, and that carries with it the history of a know-how perpetuated with exacting standards.

Care for the Roussillon black leather shopping bag

Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural material that requires simple care to evolve with elegance. A soft, slightly damp cloth is all you need to clean the surface. Occasionally nourish your shopping bag with a milk suitable for natural leathers, to preserve its suppleness and hold. Avoid direct heat and prolonged exposure to sunlight to preserve the depth of the Ebony Black color. Store it without compressing it, ideally in a cotton bag. With these simple gestures, your black leather shopping bag will develop a harmonious and unique patina.
