Luxury handcrafted handbags and couture accessories made in France

Looking for a unique fashion piece made in Brittany? Step into the world of Michel Gasnier, a former Dior couturier turned independent designer based in Dinan, one of France’s most charming medieval towns.

In his boutique-atelier on Place Saint‑Sauveur, Michel creates exceptional handmade handbags, accessories, and bespoke fashion items. His signature line, Les Sacs de Constance, blends 19th-century French elegance with contemporary flair—think historical silhouettes, vintage fabrics, and modern details, all crafted by hand.

Parisian Couture Meets Breton Creativity

Trained in the prestigious ateliers of Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, and Chantal Thomass, Michel now brings his haute couture background to the heart of Brittany. His creations are inspired by French heritage, art history, and the poetic charm of Dinan’s architecture.

Each piece is imagined, cut, sewn, and finished by Michel himself using noble materials and sustainable practices—offering you a fashion accessory that is both timeless and truly personal.

The Art of the Unique
