Careful, a strong summer wind is blowing on this newsletter because we are going to talk about the holiday’s fabric: the raffia.
Put your sunglasses on, rub some monoi on your skin, order a daiquiri and read what comes next…
Baskets, espadrilles, hats… At Victoire (and elsewhere), raffia is often largely in accessories… You are going to tell me: nothing new under the sun!
And yet… This summer, raffia is playing with perceptions and is printed as a trompe l’oeil on silk, nice right?
Let’s head to a Sunday in Bamako, because over there, it’s wedding day… but market day too. In the morning, the sun is already beating down strong, you can wander among the stalls. The air is filled with coal, fishes, and grilled meat smells. Indigo-blue, lemon-yellow, burnt-orange, emerald-green. Colours are clashing in a joyful cacophony.
This is the soul of our raffia capsule collection, a nod to journey, craftsmanship, to hands that work, to life, to dance, to joy… and to Yannick Noah.
Enjoy your long weekend (Well yes, it is the last one!)
