"Thalie embodies Parisian chic, minimalism and takes sustainable luxury handbags to new heights"
Nathalie Dionne, Founder of Thalie Paris
Brand Manifesto
Thalie is a French pioneering brand of eco-luxury handbags & accessories. Thalie embodies Parisian chic, minimalism and takes sustainable luxury handbags to new heights.
Creating synergies in a sustainable future, textile innovation, craftsmanship and creativity at the heart of our journey. Nathalie Dionne imagined the brand manifesto during the first Paris lockdown in March 2020. While taking a walk towards Palais de Tokyo on the 16th where she lives, she found Thalie written on a 30's Bas Relief of French sculptor Janniot.
The brand's aesthetic is inspired by 30's Modern Art, Greek Muses, Paris 16th & enigmatic Parisians who have inspired fashion photography and art throughout history like patron of the art Marie-Laure de Noailles at the "Le bal de la mer" wearing a dress made of marine leather or a series of images by Helmut Newton shot in late 70s in Paris 16th.
Thalie, a Muse by whom nature flourishes.
In ancient Greek, Thalie (Thaleia) means The flourishing.
Thalie is represented in major art from the Italian Renaissance as she appears as one of the 3 Graces or Charities. It is said that Thalie brought beauty to the world and through her nature revived.
Thalie is also an endearing nickname, short for Nathalie her father used to give her...
OUR ENGAGEMENTS
Thalie was conceived as a brand strongly oriented towards sustainability in all its phases. From concept to distribution, Thalie is a pioneering brand in sustainable luxury leather goods and a key new player alongside other French luxury brands.
Thalie was the first brand in France to commercialize bags made of recycled marine leather from Ictyos and vegan cactus from Desserto.
Born in the heart of Paris, our bags draw their essence from the timeless elegance of the French capital. Crafted in the most prestigious LWG Gold tanneries, they embody the pinnacle of French and European craftsmanship. In 2022 Thalie joined Greentech Europe.
In 2023, Thalie joined the accelerator program Positive Luxury and is currently undergoing the highest ESG+ assessment to obtain the Butterfly mark.
Thalie Paris goes beyond handbags; we craft statements of style. Our creations are designed for women who embrace their individuality without compromising comfort and functionality. Because elegance goes hand in hand with responsibility, we prioritize noble and sustainable materials, sourced with respect for the environment.
Every Thalie bag is an ode to modern femininity. Ergonomics and freedom of movement are combined with sensual and eco-responsible materials to enhance your daily life. More than an accessory, it becomes an extension of your personality, a faithful companion in your urban adventures.
"Sustainability is an opportunity not a constraint to creativity and at Thalie, we take recycling to art."
