Alenore
The French leather goods brand Alénore was launched in 2021 by two long-time friends, passionate about fashion and luxury leather goods: Anne-Laure and Noémie.
Their project: to create a brand that resembles them with a high-end positioning but above all strong values , with ecology and people at the heart of the collections.

The two friends had no experience in the field of leather goods, but their perseverance and determination allowed them to make this project a reality.
Their secrets are also their sense of aesthetics, their good understanding and their complementarity:
Anne Laure manages the creative part: designing the models, finding inspiration, she takes care of the artistic direction, the preparation of the photo shoots...
Noémie, for her part, takes care of everything that happens behind the scenes: sourcing materials, the administrative and logistical side, etc.
Alénore vegan bags are the perfect example that beauty , practicality and ethics can coexist.
“As we are both mothers, it seemed obvious to us to think about and develop committed, sustainable, practical and lightweight products.”
Eco-responsible and ethical leather goods
The priority for the young creators of Alénore is to produce responsibly , minimizing the impact on the planet, and respecting animals and humans . The choice of materials, the production workshop, but also the packaging, nothing is left to chance to be as ethical as possible.
Vegan Leather Goods

Alénore is a brand of leather goods that is entirely vegan , meaning that no animal material is used in the making of the items. The raw material used is Appleskin, an apple-based alter-leather , produced in Italy. The designers even visited the production plant! The apples are grown in Bolzano, to then be transformed into juice or apple compote. It is the waste that is recovered to produce Appleskin (skin, trunk of the apples). Dried and reduced to powder, they are then mixed with polyurethane to provide resistance, then coated on a cotton and polyester canvas.
Apple leather is a quality material , the look and feel are similar to traditional leather, therefore perfectly suited for making vegan bags .
Leather goods made in France
Originally from the South-West region, Noémie and Anne-Laure were keen to have their products manufactured in France , especially since their region is full of good leatherwork workshops. They chose a family workshop in the Tarn, labeled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant . This label rewards French companies with excellent craft and industrial know-how.
Alénore vegan bags are carefully made by artisans with golden hands!
Transparency
Alénore's guiding principle: transparency. For the founders, it is important to communicate clearly about materials, manufacturing processes and prices.
A value that is also dear to Zebra Vegan Shop, which is proud to reference this beautiful, committed brand!
