Founded in 1954 in Besançon, the "watch capital of France", Jean Rousseau initially started with handmade custom straps, served many well-known watch brands such as Omega, etc., and occupied a place in the watchmaking industry with the title of "professional high-end strap manufacturer". Since 2007, Jean Rousseau has been awarded the title of "Living Cultural Heritage Enterprise (EPV)" by the French government for three consecutive times.
 
In addition to straps, Jean Rousseau's products include bags, belts and a variety of leather accessories, but the straps remain his most emblematic creations, and the brand's signature is the use of rare leathers.
 
Jean Rousseau has his own leather processing workshop, which uses crocodile, lizard, python, ostrich, shark and pearl fish leathers. Most of the leather raw materials are selected from European tanneries and independent farms, and some reptilian skins, goatskins and shark skins are purchased and processed by their own tanneries. The alligator skin used comes from farms controlled by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
 
Jean Rousseau leather is characterised by a wide range of colours, with more than 600 colour palettes available, which can be customised in addition to existing colours. Jean Rousseau's men's wallet styles are mainly divided into short and long zippers, as well as some card holders, business card holders and banknote holders, which are not very rich, but the same style is basically available in different colors, and the leather surface is finely treated when dyed, so the surface of some wallets can also have a matte or shiny effect.
 
The most expensive of the short versions are crocodile and pearl fish, both with a soft goatskin lining and 4 card slots and 2 banknote slots, for 1,025 euros. Unlike crocodile skin, the grains of pearl fish skin are formed by limestone deposits on scales, which are more durable and wear-resistant, and the dense silver beads on the surface are very eye-catching, which can be used in fashion occasions to show taste. The lizard leather wallet is available in two colours, discreet grey and fashion-forward orange, and is priced at 615 euros. If you find the price of rare leather too high, you can opt for the relatively affordable vegetable-tanned cowhide material, which has a smooth and soft leather surface and costs 375 euros.
 
Jean Rousseau's long wallets are mostly equipped with zippers or coin purses and are more expensive than short wallets. Other card holders, business card holders and banknote clips are good choices for around 230 euros.
 
Jean Rousseau currently has Atelier concept stores in Paris, Tokyo, London and New York, where skilled artisans are stationed in the store and can instantly tailor leather goods such as straps, as well as online or online. In China, there are only franchise stores in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and you can buy them when you travel to the local area or go on a business trip.
