Brilliance and Elegance
An incredible night of Parisian fashion with Delvaux and Vogue100
Vogue100 shone at Paris Fashion Week in partnership with Delvaux, the oldest and most prestigious luxury leather goods house in the world. In the exquisite hôtel particulier in the 7th Arrondissement, CEO Jean-Marc Loubier welcomed a dazzling selection of guests for a sumptuous dinner.
While champagne and creative cocktails flowed, guests watched in admiration as Delvaux’s skilled artisans worked, meticulously handcrafting the highly coveted luxury handbags. The immersive process showcased the artisanal mastery that places Delvaux on an unparalleled level.
Throughout the halls, iconic models and new reinterpretations of the bags were on display, while Jessica Joffe, the brand’s communications director, dazzled in her scarlet attire, moving among a crowd of creatives, philanthropists, and opinion leaders. Among those present were Anna-Christin Haas, designer at Galvan, stylist Taylor Angino, and entrepreneur Jordan Rhodes.
The story of Delvaux is a rich tapestry of tradition and innovation. Charles Delvaux founded the company in 1829, shortly before the Belgian Revolution that separated the region from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. After a dramatic conflict that lasted nearly a year, Delvaux flourished in its Brussels store, becoming the official supplier to the Belgian Royal Court. In 1908, the brand reached a historic milestone by patenting the first modern leather handbag. The 20th century witnessed an era of change and renewal, culminating in the brand’s acquisition by Richemont in 2021.
Behind closed doors, a majestic table awaited in a stunning room overlooking the Hôtel des Invalides. The dinner, conceived by Jean Michel Loriers, Holder of the Royal Warrant of the Belgian Court, delighted the eyes with shimmering candles and delicate flowers.
The banquet, naturally inspired by the flavors of Belgium, began with artichokes and truffles, followed by the delicious Coucou de Malines, and culminated in an extravagance of Grand Cru chocolate and praline emulsion.
Laughter, animated conversations, and meaningful connections filled the evening. A celebration that effortlessly captured the brand’s elegance and intimate essence. Check out the gallery below.
