A case for celebration for Prince Albert II
Prince Albert II of Monaco has received a handcrafted leather briefcase from artisan Nicolas Grinda to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Sovereign’s reign and Monaco’s National Day.
Made in his Monte Carlo workshop, the briefcase uses leather from French and Italian tanneries, combined with bespoke wood elements, solid brass fittings and stitching that incorporates the princely coat of arms.
Mr Grinda founded Atelier Grinda in 2020 after leaving investment banking and now serves clients worldwide. He also runs the École du Cuir, a multilingual online training platform that teaches leatherworking techniques to both beginners and experienced makers, with courses focused on traditional craft methods and practical project work. He aims to position his brand and the school as key contributors to the future of Monegasque leather craftsmanship.
