OMANE Paris
by Nicolas Chupin
For Nicolas Chupin, craftsmanship is second nature that has been obvious since childhood: grandson of a cabinetmaker, working for various leather goods brands, the passion for leather and the desire to create his own models led him to train in the profession of leather goods and upholstery. His pronounced taste for travel, literature, the choice of beautiful materials, his desire to tell stories, launched him in 2017 in the manufacture of tailor-made clothing to open up to a wider audience in 2024. Omane, chosen in reference to the homonym sultanate, cradle of the “Arabian Nights”, testifies to a call to travel, inspiration and poetry. OMANE also carries the first letters of the main woods (Olivier, Cherry, Amarante...) worked in order to adorn each piece of leather goods in a unique way. A first collection was born in his studio in Saumur with a few pieces all inspired by the spirit of stopover, of travel where each piece is thought of as so many objects that are reminiscent of those used by our ancestors in their travels. A taste for the beautiful, the real, the authentic at the service of French crafts where leather and wood are sublimated to offer unique and rare pieces.
Inspirations
A desire to tell a story, a journey, to share the pleasure of making by playing with materials, to develop and highlight know-how and to transmit it in turn. Working with wood species or marquetry on leather pieces is, and will remain, his common thread.
Values
Each collection is inspired by a place, a country, a history, an invitation to discover a “Stopover”. Each product is made and created in leather decorated with wood, two materials that are both noble and timeless and that leave everyone with their own sensory perception.
Products
Creations made by hand in its artisanal workshop with leathers come directly from a renowned French tannery - carpentry and woods selected from a certified French cabinetmaker.
It is always with a bit of restraint that we approach a craftsman, secretly hoping that he will respond to our messages, that he will adhere to our desire to talk about him, or even that he will even collaborate actively. Omane Paris is a house that was quickly spotted on social networks, which immediately attracted us and around which we approached very quickly. However, Nicolas Chupin was immediately attentive and was very generous in meeting our expectations, sending us visuals and telling us stories. It is therefore a real pleasure to talk about this very recent brand that demonstrates rare know-how in its inspiration and elegant in its composition by combining leather and wood. It was from his very first collection entitled Première Escale that we chose the Taïga pouch in the shape of an envelope recalling the correspondence between travelers and the Fyodor card holder in tribute to the novelist Dostoyevsky. Very beautiful, useful objects full of the charm of the inspirations that gave life to them.
