Jérôme Dreyfuss, Spring-Summer 10 collection

"My, what a gorgeous bag you have!...", said to Little Red Riding Hood her strange, long-toothed grandma. That was too much for the girl, who grabbed her Gégé and left  for a road-trip through the United States.

Jérôme Dreyfuss - Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Paris
 

Billy, Momo, Diego, Tom... They're so seductive, and we just love the touch of their skin, although we had to pay to have them around.

Jérôme Dreyfuss creates bags which he christens with boys' names because they are, in his words, "faithful companions."

For quite a while his collections only made their appearance on corners at the department stores. As the seasons came and went, the look of the skins varied, the cuts were renewed, the style matured. And so there was a time when Jérôme was ready to open a store in his name - nowhere else but at the 1, rue Jacob, right in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

The avowed inspiration for the décor, a 50's gymnasium, is rather discreet; though we'd spend a lot more time in gymnasiums if they all looked like this one, with its large angle window opening up on a nice little square and the rue de l'Echaudé, its soft materials and, above all, a very motivating collection of accessories.

Then there's Jean-Charles, the master on board and a rare coach. Friendly, obliging, always well-informed, he has a way of looking after visitors with consideration and no affectation. A rare feat in Paris.

As if we weren't already on the verge of yielding, each bag by Jérôme Dreyfuss is an example of responsible craftsmanship: an animal-friendly process of skin selection, clean techniques and materials for tanning the hides, respect for the workers... Buying an accessory here is almost a kind gesture!

Not that such encouragement is necessary. The bags talk for themselves. They all detain this particular quality of the most handsome leather items: you can't stop touching them, you have to possess them, here and now.

Jose, Bernard, Yves... It will be difficult to leave Jérôme Dreyfuss' new store without one of these lovely companions.

 

 

Jérôme has just created a great new place. By the way, Jérôme, where are you now? Perhaps in one of these other places:

 

Chic Cityrats (CCr): A favorite place?

Jérôme Dreyfuss (JD): Beaubourg [ed.: a large Parisian museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art].

CCr: A meeting place?

JD: My office.

CCr A common place?

JD: The metro.

CCr: A non-place?

JD: Non-Ville!!! It's a small village near Fontainebleau.

CCr: A forbidden place?

JD: I don't know any.

CCr: A place of perdition?

JD: The basement of the BHV [ed.: Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville, whose basement is a large hardware store]. It's a bit of a common place too!

CCr: A place of worship?

JD: A synagogue, a church, a mosque, or else Le Printemps, Le Bon Marché [ed.: Parisian department stores]... it all depends on your personal views...
