"When it comes to the craftsmanship
of both our shoes and bags, there
are a lot of skills involved. Making
the Viv' Choc bag, for example,
requires a specific technique of
manipulating leather that's often
used in saddlery. Another bag
that is also more complex than it
looks is the Miss Vivier bag, which
uses Haute Couture techniques
in the construction of the pockets."
"A woman on a walk.
Liberated, determined,
mysterious. In and out
of tow n, women are
clearing their heads,
refreshing their spirits
on a walk. With this as
a leitmotif in mind, I
designed a collection of
items that envelope a
woman in a protective,
empowering and
inspiring way. For her
to walk in her freedom
w ith utmost ease."
