Jérôme Dreyfuss, everyday handbags.
An icon in the world of leather goods, Jérôme Dreyfuss owes his reputation to his collections of handbags that are as practical as they are elegant. Renowned for the quality of their materials and the cleanness of their lines. Thanks to their in-depth knowledge of leather tanning processes, the company also creates footwear for men and for women.
From ready-to-wear to leather goods.
At the age of 17, Jérôme Dreyfuss moved to Paris to work in fashion. Initially a student, he very quickly joined John Galliano's team as an assistant. In 1998, at only 23 years of age, he had already launched his first line of clothing for women, named "Couture à Porter". Four years later in 2002, the designer finally turned his attention to leather goods, and he would go on to build his reputation on his skills in the field. The shift was based on a simple observation - women around him were struggling to find the bag of their dreams. The young man decided, therefore, to design a piece to fill the void. Light, practical and supple, his models all boast a small detail that makes them unique: adjustable shoulder straps, lobster clasps for keys or miniature torches. Hailed by the press, Jérôme Dreyfuss handbags soon won over Parisian ladies, who adopted them as they would loyal companions. An affinity that the leather goods maker likes to reinforce with a touch of humour, by giving each one of his creations a masculine name.
The Jérôme Dreyfuss range of leather goods includes an array ranging from leather handbags for women to weekend bags for men, not forgetting numerous fashion accessories, such as purses and decorative tassels. Inventive by nature, Jérôme Dreyfuss has created eclectic pieces, like a nylon shopping bag that folds away into an elegant leather pouch, or an emergency smartphone battery entirely covered with leather.
An authentic approach, unique collections.
Ever since his first accessories collection, named "Roots de Luxe" (luxury roots), Jérôme Dreyfuss has continued to approach working with leather with hugely exacting standards. The hides used for his products are tanned by hand, making each one of his creations unique. This meticulous and authentic approach is one of the label's signature elements. In 2013, the fashion house expressed its aesthetic, which is elegant and casual at the same time, with a whole new line of bags for men and leather footwear. More recently, during summer 2016, Jérôme Dreyfuss signed an advertising campaign with creative director Jean-Paul Goude and prima ballerina Aurélie Dupont. Full of fun and with a natural quality, the images show a young woman with her arms wrapped tenderly or passionately around a handbag whose name features in a humorous slogan - "My Jean-Paul", for example, or "My Maurice".
If the house of Jérôme Dreyfuss has cleverly extended its range of items by offering leather shoes for women and men, it is clearly through its bags that it expresses its true identity. Recognisable by the three small rivets arranged in a triangle on each of the corners, today Jérôme Dreyfuss models are best sellers. Some favourites amongst them are:
