About me

My team from top to bottom, Ébène, Luigi and Phin

In the heart of Paris, Julien Jans experienced a life-changing car accident on a fateful dark night. From that moment, his path took an unexpected turn, leading him on a journey of resilience and the art of escaping any situation. Julien's survival training awakened a deep understanding of the power within him to overcome challenges.

Guided by his mother's gift, the book "How to Escape Any Situation," Julien delved into mastering the art of survival. But it was his bond with his loyal dog that propelled his training to new heights. Becoming the first person in France to train a dog for survival, Julien discovered the values of polyvalence and resilience under the guidance of his instructor, a Cozak and ex-French Foreign Legion soldier  

Julien's thirst for adventure took him to the harsh Canadian wilderness, where he endured freezing temperatures of -32°C during unforgiving winters. Equipped with his meticulously crafted leather harnesses, he and his dogs ventured across vast forests, using a pulka to navigate the treacherous conditions. Leather became their lifeline, ensuring their survival and embodying their indomitable spirit.


By day, Julien excelled in luxury hospitality management, catering to influential figures in entertainment, politics, and the elite. He immersed himself in the refined world of luxury while delivering exceptional service. However, his true passion resided in the call of the wild. By night, Julien embraced the untamed spirit of nature, embarking on thrilling adventures as a wood runner. His life became a harmonious duality between the sophistication of the city and the ruggedness of the wilderness.


Inspired by these profound experiences, Wagram Leather was born. Julien envisioned a brand that would embody resilience, craftsmanship, and the power to conquer any challenge. Collaborating with master artisans such as Jean-Francois Peyre and Johane Heard, he pushed the boundaries of leather craftsmanship and honed his skills. Recognized by the Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft (CSCL), Julien was awarded two Craft Ribbons and the Betty Heacock Memorial Award for Best Novice.
