About us

 

ETRE - A SMALL COMPANY WITH BIG DREAMS

ETRE – is the French word (être) meaning "to be".  And this also applies to us and is also intended to apply to our customers: simply to be yourself, to be completely happy with what you do, to live your own style.

This is why our bags are not mass produced - quite the opposite. The passion for materials and workmanship is visible in every single bag. And you can immediately feel it upon the very first touch

Monika M. Eberhard, a German designer based in Zurich, has designed the collection with lifestyle in mind, with an attitude of seeing oneself as part of an independent fashion movement. The bags are hand-made in a prestigious workshop in Germany according to traditional craftsmanship. We only use the finest leather, the origin of which we are familiar with, and other high-quality materials.

 ETRE bags draw their extravagance from a pure, restrained and refined design. This makes them a much sought-after companion in the small and large metropolises around the world, at any time of the day or night. The vibrant, but by no means obtrusive colours radiate a cheerful but also bold and extraordinary character.
