Le Parmentier – The Story
When two brothers Rocco and Ludmilla moved away from their hometown in Florence to chase their dream of launching a brand of their own, they found their way to Paris. There, they worked as understudies in a range of fashion houses where they perfected their craft.
Following that, they returned to Italy to make their dream a reality by launching Le Parmentier. The brand name is a tribute to their first residence in Paris, which was situated right next to Le Parmentier station on Paris Metro Line 3.
The Parisian influence is definitely clear in each item of Le Parmentier’s collection, making the bags a perfect combination of French chic and fine Italian craftsmanship.
Le Parmentier Bags
The latest collection from Le Parmentier is made up of a range of styles – from top handle bags, to totes and crossbody bags. All of them have one thing in common – an easy yet elegant design in a range of colours which will blend in with any style of outfit.
We have highlighted a few of our favourites from this season’s collection below:
Le Parmentier Yucca
The Yucca bag is definitely one of our top picks from Le Parmentier’s collection this season. Featuring a wide strap which is very on-trend, the bag is made from smooth calfskin leather and a touch of velvety suede. Bearing a slight resemblance to Chloé’s Tess and Drew bags, it has a classic chic style which can take you from day to night.
Le Parmentier Ondina

The Ondina bag has been one of Le Parmentier’s biggest hits. So much so, that is is available in three variations – The Ondina Top Handle shoulder bag, the Ondina Mini shoulder bag and the Ondina Nano crossbody clutch. All three models are flap bags which feature circular gold-tone hardware in the middle which also doubles as a push-lock closure. The Ondina is available in a range of colours, including some two-toned colour block versions which will definitely add a pop of colour to any outfit.
Le Parmentier Astorya
The Astorya bag has been the rising star of Le Parmentier’s latest collection, and we can definitely see why. It features a unique yet still minimal winged silhouette and is made from smooth calfskin leather. It also comes with a detachable top handle AND a detachable shoulder strap. It also has a good amount of internal and external pockets, making it great for keeping things organised for any time of day.
