Lancaster shares its passion for leather
Leather, a singular and charismatic material, has been part of our wardrobes since the earliest days of humankind. Noble because it is living, it is the result of long, meticulous work, from rearing the animal that provides the hide to the finishing of the leather that defines its use and ultimately makes it ready for sale. It is through the quality of its leathers, selected with the utmost care and in strict respect for the traditions of French craftsmanship, that LANCASTER creates its pieces. Lancaster also seeks to share its true passion for leather with as many people as possible. This commitment is reflected in its flourishing creation of quality leather goods and accessories.
Tradition, modernity & functionality
The constant renewal of LANCASTER lines appeals to fashion lovers who are always seeking pieces in tune with the times. The brand designs a wide selection of items tailored to the needs and desires of today’s men and women: city bags, evening bags, travel pieces, matching small leather goods and other accessories. LANCASTER products are prized for their quality and functionality, with designs inspired by the spirit of the moment.
Uniting craftsmanship and innovation, Lancaster stands out through its pursuit of variety. Variety in its models first, with a catalogue of more than 750 leather goods pieces each season. Since its beginnings, 4000 original creations have enriched the brand’s offering. Renowned for its mastery of product functionality, Lancaster shows boldness in breaking with the ephemeral and awakening new uses.
Whether through an it-bag such as the now-iconic Nova tote or a timeless design from the Versailles line, the Women of today and tomorrow celebrates leather goods through handbags that reflect her free-spirited vision of the times. A perfect example is the modular Magic bag, created in 1997 and still unrivalled today.
This success rests on the ability to rethink models and refine them so they evolve alongside women. For men, there is a genuine appreciation for the culture of authenticity, sincerity and precision that has shaped the brand.
This, too, is variety at Lancaster. More than a sign of creativity, it is also a diversity of genres, codes and uses. Quite simply because each product is designed to let a personality shine.
Exponential growth
Present in the prestigious corners of Paris department stores and throughout France, LANCASTER is also stocked by the vast majority of premium leather goods retailers. Established in France and internationally, Lancaster continues to expand.
Lancaster set up in the Madeleine district, among the great names in luxury. This very first flagship symbolises a capital turning point for Lancaster, further cementing its renown. To bring it to life, Lancaster called on designer Ora-Ito, who completely reimagined the codes of retail to create a setting dressed entirely in black.
Today, the brand counts more than 1000 stockists in France’s largest cities. International expansion soon became a natural next step: the United States, Switzerland, Benelux...
