Brand Manifesto

Creating synergies in a sustainable future, textile innovation, craftmanship and creativity at the heart of our journey. Nathalie Dionne imagined the brand manifesto during the first Paris lockdown in March 2020.  While taking a walk towards Palais de Tokyo in the 16th where she lives, she found Thalie written on a 30's Bas Relief of French sculptor Janniot.

The brand's aesthetic is inspired by 30's Modern Art, Greek Muses, Paris 16th & enigmatic Parisians whom have inspired fashion photography and art throughout history like patron of the art Marie-Laure de Noailles at the "Le bal de la mer" wearing a dress made of marine leather or a series of images by Helmut Newton shot in late 70s in Paris 16th. 

Thalie, a Muse by whom nature flourishes. 

In ancient Greek, Thalie (Thaleia) means The flourishing. 

Thalie is represented on major art from the Italian Renaissance as she appears as one of the 3 Graces or Charities. It is said that Thalie brought beauty to the world and through her nature revived. 

Thalie is also an endearing nickname, short for Nathalie her father used to give her...

Our Engagements

Thalie was conceived as a brand strongly oriented towards sustainability in all its phases. From concept to distribution, Thalie is a pioneering brand in sustainable luxury leather goods and a key new player along side other French luxury brands.

Thalie was the first brand in France to commercialised bags made of recycled marine leather from Ictyos and vegan cactus from Desserto.

Our bags are designed in Paris, from the highest certified LWG Gold tanneries, and focus primarily is on upcycling, recycling and Made in France and EU.

In 2022 Thalie joined Greentech Europe.

In 2023, Thalie joined the accelerator program Positive Luxury and is currently undergoing the highest ESG+ assessment to obtain the Butterfly mark.

At Thalie Paris, we create daring handbags for those who do not want to compromise on styling and functionality, but understand the importance of not over-consuming while using available resources. Each Thalie bag is designed to sublimate women, privileging ergonomics and movements, sensual and durable materials. 

"Sustainability is an opportunity not a constraint to creativity and at Thalie, we take recycling to art."
