Paris’ Most Celebrated Handbag Designer and Fashion’s Premiere Illustrator are Teaming Up—Just in Time For the Holidays

Renaud Pellegrino and Marc Antoine Coulon’s new collaboration celebrates inspiring women from all walks of life….

The material constraints added to the enjoyment for Coulon. “The Julia bag has a hard rectangular shape which does not alter the image as it would with a soft bag,” he explains. “I draw before all the pieces are folded and put together. It’s exciting to try and figure what it will look like in the end, to play with the folding. Also, the paper is very important – Renaud’s bags are not only made to be seen but also to be touched. It’s very sensual.”

Collaborations between designers and artists have become part of fashion’s new normal, a development both view as positive. “At first, it was difficult to [fully] explain the idea. However, Marc-Antoine understood very well what I wanted to see, which is beauty in all its forms,” says Pellegrino. For Coulon, the boundaries between fashion and art have blurred. “It’s a thin line,” he says. “Artists and designers both deal with creation. Designers love artists and treat them with respect, and artists are obsessed with designers.”

The thrill of working together was a professional high. Still, both Pellegrino and Coulon are most excited about the prospect of collaboration with the ten lucky clients who have already commissioned their custom piece. “Perhaps these women would never wear their minaudière in the street, but I found the idea of having a beautiful and original creation at home to be magnificent,’ says Pellegrino. “I think that as a designer of leather goods, and accessories in general, the goal is to make customers proud to wear the products they have designed for them. A confident woman conveys all the beauty of the world and the elegance that goes with it.” 

Coulon is looking forward to the one on one sittings with his new “models” and the opportunity to give them a moment—and keepsake—they’ll never forget. “Finding what makes them special and unique is one of the biggest thrills of my life,” he says. “It’s quite an experience, isn’t it? It takes two to tango, so I take what my model gives and try to render it with much empathy. It’s very demanding and rewarding all at once.”
