Creator of chris – murner
Chris Murner, leather goods designer for 40 years, offers a wide range of collections for everyday wear.
It all began at the age of 15, when Chris Murner discovered leather goods and began his CFC apprenticeship in leather goods. Today, she’s just as passionate about the richness of this profession. Each bag is made exclusively in their workshops in Carouge, behind the boutique-gallery L’ANTRE-PEAUX. Our leathers come from eco-friendly European tanneries, and are carefully selected according to the design project. The exotic leathers come from destocking or leftover stock from leather goods manufacturers in the 70s. It undertakes not to buy exotic leathers from commercial supply networks, so as not to contribute to the abusive market in skins, but also to respect the preservation of species. She loves creating worlds through a variety of themes. But also to collaborate with craftsmen to challenge the limits of expression of elegant everyday objects, for women of all generations.
She is also the last leatherwork trainer in Geneva, and has already trained several apprentices after helping to reintroduce the leatherwork CFC in 2012 with a pilot school-enterprise training project for the métiers d’Art.
She also trained her children:
- Simon has opened his own workshop in Plan-Les-Ouates, Sellerie Moto Dubouloz, trained in saddlery, and has just won the Prix de la Relève des Métiers d’Art organized by the Association des Métiers d’Art.
- Camille, who now works alongside her and has developed her own range of bags: C.C mère et fille created in 2017.
Today, Chris Murner opens his workshop for Master classes in Leather Goods for adults wishing to retrain, and also offers theme-based courses. Detailed information can be found under Training tab.
Creator of C • C Mère et fille.
Camille D. grew up in an artistic world between a leather goods workshop and an architecture studio. She first turned to studying psychology, then decided, during a sabbatical year between her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in 2017, to create C • C Mère et fille..
Camille has been designing each collection for seven years. She trained with chris – murner to acquire all the techniques needed for production.
Its style, which combines elegance and minimalism, incorporates originality through customized details and the combination of different leather textures in subtle shades of tone.
Camille selects leathers and materials mainly from end-of-stock factories and eco-responsible European tanneries to avoid overproduction of leathers and offer quality materials. So each model is unique, or almost!
C • C Mère et fille. et fille is above all a family story, which honors the artisan know-how passed down from mother to daughter, as well as the love of beautiful materials and colors.
