Robin Hureau & Robin Nozay

The two Robins bonded over their love of men’s fashion, running the longstanding blog Redingote.fr before taking a more hands-on role in the industry. Robin H duly retrained as a leatherworker – initially active in Malmö – while Robin N honed his marketing skills with luxury brands including Burberry. In 2015 the duo launched minimal artisanal leather goods label Laperruque – the name draws on French slang for pursuing personal ends on company time – which currently operates from a Haut Marais-based atelier-cum-boutique.
