Our Story

Behind every piece is a pair of hands.

Rozène is an independent leather atelier founded by Rozanne Portillo-Foendoe, where design and making remain closely connected.

The idea behind Rozène

Rozène was founded from a desire to create leathergoods that feel personal, pieces that allow us to express something of ourselves through what we choose and carry.

But Rozène has always been about more than what we carry. It is also about what we cultivate within.

Founder & Artisan

Design and making, under one hand.

Rozanne develops the pieces and makes them in the atelier herself. Her practice is grounded in traditional French leathercraft techniques and a continuing commitment to mastering the craft.

Cultivate within

Care for what is carried within, too.

There is value in creating beautiful things, but also in creating space for reflection, meaningful conversation and growth. From time to time, Rozène brings clients together for intimate experiences that extend beyond the atelier.

That same spirit continues through weekly reflections and A Letter from Rozène, shared with the wider Rozène community.

The philosophy

“What we carry can express something of who we are. What we cultivate within determines so much more.”
