Meet the Maker
A family story, a real know-how.
Nicole Martin launched Tampico in 1992 within her family's leather business, J. Martin Trépointes, starting with the Beach bag that's still a staple today. Her daughter Julie Martin now designs the collections.
Every step of the making happens in the family's workshop in Mussidan, in the Dordogne. The cotton, linen and wool are 100% French, and the leathers come from Italian and Spanish tanners who still vegetable-tan the traditional way, with tannins from trees like oak. The result is a casual, timeless bag made to last for years, not seasons.
Pairs well with
One for the commute, one for the weekend, one for dinner and one that's just plain fun.
Care & Ritual
Caring for your bag
Cotton bags: remove the leather logo, hand wash in lukewarm water with soap while keeping the leather dry, and dry upside down. Never machine wash. Suede bags: clean with a suede brush only, never with water, soap or solvents. Keep all bags away from creams, perfume, hand sanitizer, damp and direct heat.
