Not so long ago I attended the opening of the Lancel boutique in Brussels Boulevard de Waterloo. Not only we celebrated the arrival of yet another luxurious boutique in our little city, but mainly the birth of a bag…
The BB bag!
Inspired by the iconic Brigitte Bardot and created by Italian designer Leonello Borghi (who also collaborated and worked for Prada, Armani, and Ralph Lauren), the BB bag is a mix of elegance, sensuality and nature friendly materials to pay tribute to her life long battle against animal cruelty. So no leather and no chemical dyes… Below, a video where he explains the design process behind the bag which went on with Mrs Bardot’s supervision.
The boutique was filled to the maximum leaving just enough place for the caterers to acrobatically zig zag between a sea of fashionable guests…
Our very unique Didier Vervaeren wearing a vintage Lancel leather bag.
Miss Aurore Daerden, fashion designer, DJ and tv host.
The very friendly Monsieur Mademoiselle and his dancer friend…
…who was wearing his broche in a very interesting way.
Victor Spahn, the artist behind the oil painting of the bag itself who very enthusiasticly offered me a signed copy of his toile.
I left with my little goody bag containing the Lancel catalogue and a pretty scented Brigitte Bardot candle…
As for you… Here is a video of BB singing with late French legend Serge Gainsbourg…
