ABOUT US

Ever-evolving in a rapidly changing industry, Bagatelle continues to serve superior quality, design novelty, and exceptional service that support constant growth.
OUR LEGACY
THE LAST 50 YEARS
Bagatelle’s rich heritage is rooted in genuine leather and suede. Late CEO Michael Litvack spent 35 years building a worldwide network of design, sourcing, and manufacturing experts between the US, Canada, Asia, and Europe and assembling a team of fashion innovators to transform Bagatelle from a domestic manufacturer of leather and suede goods to the powerhouse company it is known as today.

Michael Litvack joined Bagatelle 30 years ago as sales manager and immediately began buying shares of the company. He purchased Bagatelle in 2013, becoming the sole owner, and quickly built a strong US presence by dividing his time between New York and Montreal. Michael loves working with his sons, Adam and Jamie, and the entire Bagatelle family, who share his passion for upholding the company's excellent reputation. Since 2021, Bagatelle's business has more than quadrupled under Michael’s leadership.
OUR MISSION
Through a superior wholesale branded portfolio, private label business, direct fulfillment, and e-commerce initiatives, Bagatelle has become more than a manufacturer. The company’s mission is to exceed customer expectations and maintain its position as a leader in design, sourcing, and manufacturing, all while staying true to each brand’s unique identity.
