Lucienne Paris is a luxury leather goods and jewelry brand that is entirely French.
Laure, the designer, let herself dream of changing her life after 10 years in marketing. She was inspired by her paternal heritage thanks to her grandmother Lucienne , Première hand in large Parisian Couture houses.
The idea of ​​creating leather goods closely linked to jewelry came to her and the name naturally came to Laure: “it will be Lucienne Paris ”!
From creation to manufacturing, Lucienne's jewelry bags do not leave France. A real bias for the brand that wishes to pay tribute to the incomparable French know-how in the world of fashion according to Lucienne. Raw materials such as leather are also selected in a French tannery. The bags and pouches are handmade by Compagnons du Devoir in a workshop in Touraine .
As for jewelry, it is also a Parisian workshop that allows Laure to obtain the perfect jewel: a bangle gilded with fine rose gold . A bracelet that is then used directly with the bags: a real piece of leather goods. All this design dynamic allows the brand to encourage a more local economy .
The guiding principle of Lucienne Paris is to think of a line of leather goods-jewelry, with chic and practical models, designed to accompany and facilitate the lives of women. These handbags are modular thanks to their jewels and can be worn in different ways while remaining aesthetic . As for the clutches, their bangles allow evening outfits to be accompanied with elegance without getting in the way. These products designed by women and for women convey a value dear to Lucienne: freedom .
THE MEETING BETWEEN LAURE'S BAGS AND VIOLETTE'S SOCKS
Laure and Violette met in the Atelier Meraki coworking space in Paris, a place specializing in office rental for fashion and design designers. When they were creating their respective brands , they were a few desks away from each other. As with Johanna, the creator of Saison d'Eden (whom we have already talked about in an article), all three became friends , and have been since 2016.
VIOLETTE'S WORD
Laure is very whole, she shakes up the codes , she knows how to be herself. She assumes herself and it is very re-energizing. If she had to describe her, Violette would say that Laure is a “ rock and roll mom ”: she likes intense colors, sequins, leather, she adopts a style in her image which makes her a person who loves life , who enjoys it to the fullest. She is a woman who commands admiration , and the work she undertakes too!
THE ANECDOTE
When the brand was created, Violette had not imagined any model with glitter. It was on Laure's advice that she tried to incorporate glittery thread into her socks. Seduced from the first prototypes, Violette decided to follow Laure's advice. Customer feedback quickly confirmed their success. For her part, Laure has become the biggest collector of socks (especially those that shine ✨).
