The Craftsmanship
Saddle-stitched by hand in our atelier near Vichy, France. Each piece is made by master artisans, requiring more than 40 hours of work. The seams are reinforced with a unique double-thread technique that ensures durability for decades.
Solid brass hardware
All buckles, rivets and locks are crafted from solid brass — never plated. Heavier, more durable, and develops a unique patina over time. The internal structure uses hand-finished leather-wrapped frames for maximum rigidity.
Lifetime service & warranty
2-year manufacturer warranty against defects. Beyond that, we offer lifetime refurbishment service for any Laurent Nay piece — re-stitching, hardware replacement, leather refinishing. Submit a request via our contact form.

Everyday care
- Store your Laurent Nay piece in its dust bag when not in use, in a dry room away from direct sunlight.
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water, heat, and direct sunlight — natural leather may fade or dry out.
- Do not overload — leather relaxes over time and will conform to the shape of what it holds.
Deep cleaning
Twice a year, apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner with a soft cloth, in circular motions. Let it absorb for a few minutes, then buff gently.
For tartan linings, brush with a soft dry brush. Do not machine wash.
Hardware
Solid brass hardware develops a natural patina over the years. To restore its original shine, polish with a dedicated brass cleaner. To keep the aged look, simply let it evolve.
Long-term storage
Fill the piece with acid-free tissue paper to preserve its structure. Store flat when possible. Every 2–3 months, take it out and wipe it down.
