Homage to the spirit of luxury
Objects Designed to Traverse Time
The House draws its inspiration from the 18th century "siècle des lumières" when objects were made to traverse time, being still relevant and remarkable today. Our savoir-faire comes from an era when excellence was the only criterion that mattered, rather than imperatives of in-dustrialisation.
This organic rarity is based on techniques and materials where mass replication is not pos-sible.
Inspiration
Diana the Goddess
Diana is a hunter and lives in symbiosis with the forest. She represents nature, strength, protection and nurturing. In greek mythology, she also symbolizes the "light bearer" which evokes moonlight, radiance and mystery.
Our ancient link with the Diane spring in Lectoure inspired Diane line of bags and perfume.
Greyhounds are a symbol of independance, steadfastness and loyalty. With their grace and refinrment, they are closely associated with the
goddess Diana.
Inspiration
Crowned heart with rays
Crown refers to nobility, to purity, to excellence.
Heart refers to warmth, sharing, welcoming.
Rays gives light, enlightenment.
Inspiration
Fourragère, sealing wax & official dispatch case
This decorative elements were used on 18th century ceremonial costumes usually as a recognition for exemplary behaviour. It has been an inspiration for the Diane closure.
The use of a seal stamp or a signet ring on wax to secure a document, verify sender's identity and as decoration was customary from 16th to 20th cen-tury. Official dispatch cases had metallic closures for security as well as for aesthetic reasons. Both were used as inspirations for closures on our leather bags.
