“It’s not what you are seeking, it’s what you are!”

Located in Paris, Séraphin is the last remaining French manufacturer of quality leather menswear to use traditional artisanal skills. Back in 1975, Henri Zaks and his wife Séraphina baptized their new adventure.

This French luxury goods company works with the finest skins for all of its collections. Every item is designed, cut, and sewn exclusively in Séraphin’s ateliers. Their label, Made in France, really means Made in France, without any subcontractors.  Without marketing, Séraphin has built its reputation thanks to the quality and style of its menswear.

* In Hebrew, the word seraphim comes from “saraph” or to burn, like angels that burn with a passion for God. 

The Leather

Crocodile from the Sudan, goat from the Hunza Valley, elk from Laponia, deer from Pennsylvania and the Kobe, region, lambskin from Eritrea and Ethiopia, yak from Mongolia, caribou from Canada, reindeer from Sami, metis from Sahel, eider down from Iceland… there are no frontiers for seeking the best natural skins, that are the most resistant and supple. Drum dyed, without any artificial finish in order to conserve the natural beauty and obtain the best possible feel, the work is done in a traditional manner. All patinas are added by hand.

 

 

 

Calfskin fighting jacket with hand-made crocodile boxing gloves on the sleeves.

Virile, luxurious, and sporty in style, with a suppleness and

originality in how the skins are used, and close-fitting shapes Séraphin’s jackets are very seductive.

Not really made for fighting as its name indicates, this jacket is more likely to be worn for motorcycle riding or other outdoor activities. The leather is very resistant and thick, yet supple.

As the company founder was passionate about boxing, it seemed like a natural idea to add a pair of gloves as an accent to the jacket. Carefully designed and created, in the style of the best jewelry making, the gloves are confected using the best tannery practices. More than just a simple detail on a sleeve, this workmanship is the reflection of good taste, precision, and an illustration of the remarkable work, as if made by the fingers of fairies, in the Séraphin ateliers.
