Valet de Pique
by Martin Meunier
In 2018, Martin met an artisanal and century-old family workshop in the heart of Belleville in Paris making leather harnesses, tool cases and nail pockets, by hand or with machines from yesteryear, and it was the trigger. Creating authentic, sustainable and local pieces of leather goods, using traditional know-how, ignoring fashion that passes and throws away, by offering quality pieces that guarantee reasonable and rational consumption, these are the values that resonate with the mission that Martin has set for himself and that will be able to take root and materialize. Jack of Spades was born. Since then, Valet de Pique has joined forces with a second family leather and saddler company not far from Biarritz, and from these two partner companies, will produce exceptional leather goods, which last over time, which ages well, ages well, is patinated, maintained and repaired if necessary. A leather goods where elegance emerges in simplicity with a concern for the well done, for the beautiful, which lasts a lifetime.

In addition to its universe that resonates with the heart of a child, the quality of the leathers, their robustness, and the refined side of the pieces make Valet de Pique a reference house in the field for those who love and know how to appreciate beauty in simple things.
