Rabanne’s Iconic 1969 Bag Reinvented
Paris Fashion Week, held in the French capital, closes the season of runway presentations from major brands, showcasing their collections for the upcoming spring. One standout from this week is the latest version of Rabanne’s iconic 1969 bag, renowned for its intricate craftsmanship. Julien Dossena, the creative director of Rabanne, has teamed up with artisans to reinvent this viral piece.
Among the collaborations, one that steals the show is the creation of the most exclusive jewel handbag of the moment. Made of 18-karat gold, this luxurious masterpiece is crafted by the French maison Arthus Bertrand, which has a 200-year-old legacy in jewelry. Specializing in the creation of medals, Arthus Bertrand imprints its signature “pluie d’étoiles” (rain of stars) motif on this extraordinary piece.
But this is not the only jewel handbag from Rabanne for the upcoming season. In addition to their gold creations, Rabanne has also partnered with a ceramic workshop and a Murano glass studio to expand their artisanal offerings. The ceramic bag, crafted by Astier de Villatte, features 550 white enamel discs, while the Murano glass edition contains 240 discs in six different colors. These bags are destined to become collector’s items, combining art with fashion.

Diptyque’s expert team of perfumers—Alexandra Carlin, Fabrice Pellegrin, Nathalie Cetto, and Olivier Pescheux—has created five unique scents that elevate the art of perfumery. The bottles, designed by illustrator Nigel Peake, feature elegant and contemporary motifs, enhancing the aesthetic appeal.
