OUR
STORY
​
The Badoune brand was born in Cairo (Egypt) in 2010 on the initiative of two friends who wanted to promote the know-how of local craftsmen. The name of the brand was born from their imagination and the transformation of an Arabic word.
The first models were marketed in a few local shops, but the duo was monopolized by other projects and occupations.
Badoune was then put on hold.
In 2017, after more than twenty years spent in Egypt, Louise Dor returned to live in France and decided to pursue the adventure alone. Ella created the Badoune company, with the same original objective.
Marketed in pop-up shops or in shops in the south of France, Badoune products have been available online since May 2019.

OUR
MIND
​
The Badoune label conveys a Casual-Chic image. Designed for those who like to have what others don't have, it is made up of unique pieces which combine noble materials and intense colors.
These are born in the imagination of their creator from a desire, a need, an inspiration or exchanges.
Each skin has its own texture, shade and sensuality.
Bags and objects warmly accompany everyday life and travel for a long time.
The beauty of the products comes, in addition to the quality of the skins, from their simplicity, their uniqueness and the practical details.
ART &
THE MATERIAL
Badoune creations are made in an Egyptian craft workshop that perpetuates ancient know-how.
The choice of the workshop was made based on its professionalism and respect for social standards that the brand requires.
​
After validation of the pattern, skins, linings, accessories and threads are chosen meticulously.
A "manufacturing program", between 1 to 5 pieces maximum (for small ones), is then established.
​
Badoune pieces are made from high quality cow, calf, goat or lamb skins, and each object acquires a harmonious patina over time.
