Designed for Women. Made for Life.

Story

 

 

The bebebark is a compact, eco-friendly, day-to-night bag by LaFlore, designed by Natacha Seroussi. Made from premium, sustainable cork bark, bebebark combines timeless Parisian elegance and a classic square proportion with the everyday functionality required for modern women.

Its removable and adjustable straps allow you to wear it as a backpack, a shoulder bag or crossbody bag, or a clutch. The brass clasp opens 180 degrees for a wide, clear view into the bag. Interior pockets and dividers in the bag were designed to organize your essentials and an exterior hidden zipper at the side provides easy access to your phone.

 

 

Designed to be a day-to-night bag, bebebark can be worn as a mini backpack, a shoulder bag or crossbody bag, or clutch – carried in the hand.  The new convertible system makes it fast and easy to go from one to the other.

 

 

 

You can go from backpack to tote to clutch in a ‘snap’

 

 

Parisian Chic.

bebebark fits any lifestyle, any woman, and any occasion – designed to match the shape of a woman’s body and highlight any outfit. On the go or at the office, bebebark will be there to elevate your style.

 

 

 

 

Visible & Organized

Each pocket was designed for your everyday essentials – from your phone and tablet to your makeup, book, sunglasses, charger, and hand sanitizer.

 

 

The brass clasp opens 180 degrees

 

In total, there are 11 pockets and compartments that will keep your items organized and easily accessible. The brass clasp opens 180 degrees for a wide and clear view into the bag, and the bright orange lining helps you locate your treasures with just a glance. A zippered section divides the main compartment.

 

 

Each pocket has an intended purpose for your essentials

 

 

 

 

Made to Last

All of our bags are handmade with love. Our sustainable cork material always comes from Portugal and our lining is made from eco-friendly recycled cotton. Our global team of artisans and workshops have been pioneering innovations in eco-friendly and sustainable craftsmanship.

The design process for the bag starts in our Parisian atelier, where we envision and sketch the bag and then develop a sample. Conceptualizing and creating the initial design can take 6 months to a year, and sometimes even more. During this process, we are in close communication with our team of artisans who have vast experience creating high-end handbags for over 30 years. Samples are scrutinized and tested until the design and quality is absolutely perfect.

Our bag artisans pay close attention to every detail to guarantee each and every bag is of the highest possible quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Better than Leather

Our bag is handmade from a premium cork skin which is harvested in Portugal and polished until the texture is as soft and supple as leather.

 

 

Cork is as resistant and durable as leather but 3 times lighter. It is completely organic & ethical. Collecting and harvesting the bark from the cork tree takes place every 7 to 9 years, and does not harm the trees. In fact, this harvesting method helps the trees grow and release more oxygen.

 

 

 

 

Our last project, BOBOBARK raised  $2,285,007 from 10,366 backers worldwide. Now we’re back with bebebark – a day-to-night bag, simplified for your essentials.

Our Founders: Elie & Natacha

LaFlore is a family story, between a father and his daughter. Elie, the father, is the founder of one of the leading fashion houses in Paris, CECILE & JEANNE. Elie has worked in fashion for over 30 years. Natacha is a young designer born and raised in Paris surrounded by craftsmanship and the finest handbag workshops.

They share a passion for design and fashion, as well as a mutual concern for our environment’s future. Together they created the brand LaFlore, which stands for luxury and sustainability, so women never again have to choose between style and ethics.

A year of research and dozens of prototypes later, bobobark was born. Now, LaFlore is excited to welcome bebebark to the family, continuing the tradition of creating backpacks for women that merge ethics & aesthetics. You can be confident that a handbag from LaFlore is versatile, comfortable, eco-friendly, and completes any outfit with classic elegance.

 

 

Thanks to the success of our first campaign, we renovated our Parisian boutique. It’s located in the heart of le Marais and it’s now LaFlore’s flagship store. We invite you to come and meet us so we can show you the bebebark prototype in person. We also make great coffee!
