What a Luxury - The prestigious leather good maison Joseph Duclos agreed to receive my students during fashion week to meet their craftspeople and even try the saddle stitch. I can see why Taylor Swift, Carla Bruni and Brigitte Macron are big fans. Unlike Hermès, you don't have a huge hierarchy to go through to get your €55,000 crocodile handbag. You just have to know that Joseph Duclos exists :) ...but keep it a secret :)

For all our Luxury Students in Paris. Here's what Laura Brancato at EFAP has reported
"Today I'm talking about (Deux)Mains du Luxe which is a very rewarding show to discover for all fashion lovers. 💭
In total, it's three days, thirty exhibitors and many inspiring meetings, with a generous sharing of experience. Organised by the Comité Colbert, this show allows many Houses (CHANEL, le19M, Christian Dior Couture, Cartier, Hermès) to pass on their expertise through design and creation workshops, explaining the different possible trades. 🤩
I was able to discover the existence of some unknown trades in this exciting industry that is fashion. To all the curious, who wish to learn more (and be better informed), this is the appointment not to be missed. ✨
With my friend Calista RAYBIER, we tried our hand at leather goods at Chanel, creating a precious leather lining and weaved our own chain of the iconic Chanel Timeless 👜
Your choices: after this show, you can become a shoemaker, goldsmith, weaver, leatherworker... or just come out better informed like us! 😅
