Laura B
Published on September 4, 2008 | Comments
The newest addition to Dilettante’s collection of International labels is Laura B. For most of the Laura B collection, the label’s signature material is metallic chain mail. This is always used in conjunction with other materials such as silver, stones, leather, chains, crocodile skin, etc. Laura B includes not only jewellery, but also belts and bag
Having worked with Giorgio Armani in the Eighties. Then Gianni Versace, Anna Molinari, and almost ten years for Dolce & Gabbana. The experience of working with some of the best designers in the world prepared Laura for her future enterprise.
In the early Nineties, while living in Avignon, South of France, after designing a small collection of bags, hats and scarfs created from original 1920’s pieces, Laura applied the same passion for the aesthetics from the beginning of the century to jewellery. A mix of ‘brocantes’ vintage pieces ran perfectly with the 1970’s revival taking place at this time. Since each piece was unique, so was born the ‘Laura B Collection Particulière’. Right from the beginning the collection attracted very select market.
Today, one can find Laura B in the best showcases in the world such as Dieci Corso Como in Milan, Barney’s in Tokyo and New York, L’Eclaireur in Paris, Brown’s and Liberty’s in London, and Maxfield in Los Angeles.
