LE CARQUOIS: A TOTE LIKE NO OTHER!
Born from four decades of quiet mastery in leather craftsmanship, working for some of the most prestigeous brands across the world, HÉMISPHÈRE SUD reinvents daily luxury through adaptable, intelligent accessories. Now back to its roots in Paris, we blend traditional savoir-faire with practical innovation. Our pieces are more than beautiful—they transform, adjust, and endure. Hand-numbered, hand-finished, and designed for modern life, each bag reflects a belief in elegant utility and responsible creation.
Smartly Compact
The “Carquois” is the first of our many upcoming collections. Slim, sculptural, and easy to carry — the Carquois folds into a refined tube of leather, saving space at home or on the move.
HÉMISPHÈRE SUD – Paris is here to revolutionize the way we use our accessories and adapt them to our lives.
Effortless Unfolds…
In one fluid gesture, it opens wide. No fuss. No noise. Just beautiful function revealing generous capacity and thoughtful design.
…On the Go, Space-Smart
From compact to carry-all, it moves with you — practical, polished, and ready for any part of your day, wherever it leads.
WHAT MAKES HÉMISPHÈRE SUD UNIQUE?
Always driven by its creator, Anne-Christine Lévigne, Hémisphère Sud brings immense creativity and a distinctly feminine sense of practical aesthetics to these indispensable yet often ill-suited accessories for modern life — handbags, backpacks, luggage, and accessories of all kinds.
You will never find a simple container at HÉMISPHÈRE SUD — no handbag that is just a bag, nor a wallet that is merely a pouch for bills and credit cards.
The Brand’s DNA
Every model bearing the Hémisphère Sud name is thoughtfully designed, carefully considered, and conceptualized with all the expectations we are entitled to have in the 21st century — as well as with the space it occupies, and the often limited space in our closets and wardrobes.
That is why all our creations are polymorphic, adaptable, transformable, compressible, and expandable — always ready to be the companion you need at every stage of your day.
It will offer large capacity and great organization when in use — and become tiny, completely flat, or reduced to a leather tube when you need to store it in your wardrobe. Yet it will always remain elegant, refined, and chic.
Our signature piece: The transformable bag
HÉMISPHÈRE SUD focuses its research on three key concepts:
The FLUENCE Concept – A line in which all our bags, for men and women, are extremely sophisticated, equipped with unique comfort features (internal lighting, multiple dedicated pouches, phone charging systems, and other features you won’t be able to live without). These bags fold flat in just a few quick, simple moves, so they can slip easily into a suitcase or stack neatly on a shelf in your closet.
The ECLIPSE Concept – A line in which every object serves at least two functions, if not more.
The CARQUOIS Concept – An original line featuring a wide range of ultra-light bags, from the smallest size to suitcase format. These bags unfold in five clicks to offer surprising capacity, but can be compressed into a beautiful leather tube that takes up minimal space in your luggage or on a shelf.
SOON, HÉMISPHÈRE SUD IS GOING TO LAUNCH ITS OPERATION IN EUROPE WITH A FIRST STEP , THROUGH KICKSTARTER : THE DISCOVERY OF CARQUOIS. Be among its first discoverers !
A Brand with Unique Design
This revolutionary adaptability to your needs is matched by another exceptional quality: each bag and object is meticulously handcrafted in our workshops under our close supervision, with a rare level of craftsmanship and finishing. Each piece coming out of our shop-floor is embodying luxury at its best. Every piece is numbered and traceable.
A Final Signature Touch: Our Pricing Policy
Our last bold difference lies in our pricing.
Our creations undeniably meet the standards of haute couture and high luxury — but not our prices! We have chosen a policy of fair, accessible pricing — and you’ll see this for yourself…
Our products will remain rare, as they take a long time to produce, and only highly skilled artisans are able to craft them.
