Renault fulfils French promise with Italian leather
28/01/2015
Renault said at the time of the launch of the fifth generation of its Espace model at the Paris motor show in October 2014 that it wanted to reclaim a place in the premium segment, offering at the same time what it referred to as “a redefinition of French luxury”.
Its first steps down this path were to release limited-edition versions of some of its cars, including Espace, under a new brand called Initiale Paris. Now, under the Initiale Paris name, it has launched a range of elegant, high-end leathergoods for women and men.
There are eight pieces in the collection including a wallet and card-holder, a laptop case, an overnight bag and a larger week-end bag.
Renault said it had chosen 100% Italian veg-tanned leather for the Initiale Paris collection, in black with touches of plum, to emphasise sobriety. For now, the collection is available exclusively in the Atelier Renault on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
