Everything about Taurillon Leather : Michino Paris

Everyday Elegance and Enduring Strength

At Michino, we carefully select Taurillon leather from the renowned French tannery Remy Carriat, located in the heart of the Basque Country. This rare and noble leather stands out for its deep natural grain, supple touch, and exceptional resilience. Unlike traditional calfskin, Taurillon offers superior durability while maintaining a luxurious, refined appearance.

Thanks to its dense, robust fibers, it resists scratches and ages beautifully — making it the perfect choice for everyday bags such as our Lutèce or the elegant Odéon.

Our leathers are then sent to Florence, where they are brought to life by the hands of Italy’s finest artisans.

An exceptional leather, crafted for timeless creations.

Taurillon — A Leather of Character at the Heart of Michino’s Identity

Taurillon leather is a very specific kind of bovine leather. At Michino, we use Taurillon leather from the French tannery Remy Carriat. Taurillon falls in the bovine category of leathers which includes not only Taurillon leather but also calfskin and cowhides. The rarity of the Taurus animal makes the taurillon leather more expensive that common cowhides and the type of animal being more robust makes Taurillon leather more resistant than standard calfskin. In general, calfskin is considered more luxurious than cowhide and many luxury brands will mainly use calfskin. Taurillons leather on the other hand is considered non only luxurious but also resistant due to the nature of leather. The fibre of the leather are more compact which makes Taurillon leather the perfect type of leather for everyday usage.

Luxury brands uses Taurillon leather, in fact our leather is also from the same supplier and the same article as Taurillons. For those who are leather connaisseurs, you’ll immediately recognize the grain and the hand feel. We love using Taurillons to create our bags such as the Lutece Bag or our bucket bag : Odeon bag because the leather is luxurious, scratch resistant, rare with limited supply - noble materials are important in the making of beautiful and qualitative bags.
