Our story
Galène adapts itself to the passing of time, reflecting the mood of the moment. In a rhythm of life that is continually accelerating, we want to offer you the chance to refocus on the essentials.
Our epoque is characterised by an “acceleration of acceleration”. A chain reaction.
Galène proposes a pause, a reflection of oneself and the surrounding nature. Breathe, look around, be proud of yourself, know and listen to yourself…..find yourself. Choosing Galène is above all the choice of a product that resembles you, that accompanies you, whether in a moment of calm, or mad acceleration, according to the moment in your life.
We are telling the story of the brand and its origins, the desire of a city girl with a strong character to return to nature. In this accelerating world our different personalities are accentuated: rather in a holiday mood, or ambitious, or urban, these are different facets of the unique, and same, young women.
A multi-faceted concept according to the time of day, the mood and the activities. A bag to accompany you. The multi-faceted concept is revealed by an approach to time, to speed, to slowing down, to the hours, minutes and almost seconds. Make an interval in your life?
Galène offers you a pause. Galène invites you to say stop. Master your time.
A moment of respite, a rest. A truce in this mad life, an instant in suspension. An indispensable silence.
A family story
Our passion is anchored in family tradition. As a brother-sister duo, we started this adventure in 2018, not only convinced that the future of genuine luxury goods lies in excellent craftsmanship but also determined to carry on this remarkable legacy.
Our father, also a creator of luxury accessories, transferred his passion for attention to detail and elegant finishing to us. We’re proud to bring you a quality product that stands up to close scrutiny. Everything at Galène is handmade by craftsmen in a workshop in Istanbul which has been producing superior quality leather goods for five generations.
Follow the rhythm of your life
The brand Galène is inspired by the unique and understated philosophy of its birthplace, Switzerland. In this country where the importance of time and its measurement find their roots in ancient tradition, our brand of high-quality leather goods was born. Galène adapts itself to the passing of time, reflecting the mood of the moment. In a rhythm of life that is continually accelerating, we want to offer you the chance to refocus on the essentials.
Multi-faceted, just like you
A bag needs to be more than just beautiful – it needs to be practical as well. At Galène, the design adapts to your lifestyle. After all, you are multifaceted and there are many different “yous” – sometimes you are bold and ambitious, and other times, longing for peace and tranquillity. At Galène, we know the beautiful complexities and demands of life for the modern woman. With this at the core of our design, you can now customise your bag to be exactly what you need in any given moment.
A breath of fresh air
We have chosen to show our most authentic selves via a range of leather goods that is both urban and honest. Inspired by nature and wisdom, the Galène design is unique. Geometric and lightweight, our bags are like a breath of fresh air, announcing a new day full of potential. They are bags unlike any other, because they have been designed for contemporary and ambitious women and we like to think we understand you better than anyone else.
Remaining close to nature
Nature has always been the source of our inspiration. And just like you, we love exploring, discovering and marvelling at its beauty during our outdoor adventures. It’s why we take care of our planet, in our simple, daily choices, thereby making a real impact. At each stage of production from the selection of skins to the finishing details, we strive to respect nature both in product selection and in the techniques used. The covers we wrap our Galène products in, for example, are designed so that you can re-use them.
