The team will even measure the distance between each stitch handbags. Since then, handbags have been at the heart of Delvaux. From celebrities to royalty, discerning women across Belgium – and across the globe – adore the brand’s creations. Why? Because these are bags that are crafted by some of the most skilled artisans in the world who use only the finest materials available; and they work on designs that stand the test of time. Every Delvaux bag is painstakingly crafted by master artisans to the most exacting Above (from left): Delvaux atelier in Brussels; the brand’s craftsmanship

A
s one the oldest fine leather luxury goods houses in the world, Delvaux knows a thing or two about craftsmanship. Founded in 1829, the house actually predates Belgium itself, which was established as an independent state the next year. Steeped in history yet constantly innovating, Delvaux is one of a number of Belgian brands proving that exquisite craftsmanship and timeless design are as covetable today as ever. Though it’s hard to believe now, there was a time before handbags. It was during the evolution of railways in the 19th century that handbags became indispensable for women travellers. In the 1880s, founder Charles Delvaux saw the potential in this new accessory and his eponymous firm became one of the first in the world to file patents for
S H O P | 27
standards. Experts first source the best hides from French and Italian tanneries (house specialities include exotic and rare leathers such as alligator, galuchat, ostrich and python). These are then carefully stored in the Delvaux leather library, from which the artisans will carefully choose the perfect skin for each bag. Each section of the bag – from the smallest to the largest – is then cut and individually worked, expertly manipulated to precise specifications of thickness, softness and so on. From start to finish, no detail is overlooked. The team will even measure the distance between each stitch in the leather. Craftsmanship is, of course, intrinsic to
the appeal of Delvaux. But world-class design is just as important. As well as classic styles, the house releases seasonal collections that comprise a mix of updated favourites and brand new models.
Le Brillant is the brand’s signature style; a timeless shape with a sculptural feel that remains as covetable today as when it launched in 1958. It has been reimagined countless times over the decades, and this season you’ll find a monochrome version with an almost trompe l’oeil design that explores light and shadow, and an all-black design with a detachable concertina strap in black and white leather. These are handbags that feel modern and fresh yet they are also pieces that you will reach for time and again ‒ great design doesn’t age. Delvaux is not the only brand championing world-class craftsmanship. Belgian watchmaker Raidillon was founded in 2001 and is committed to combining the latest Above (from top): Le Brillant, Delvaux’s signature bag; Raidillon 41-CIC-300 watch from the Curve collection

technologies with the kind of exquisite artisanal methods that have been passed down through generations. The brand is inspired by the world of luxury cars and motor racing, and its customer is the gentleman driver ‒ a discerning man who loves automobiles and understands the meaning of luxury. Raidillon takes its name from the most famous curve of the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit, home to the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix, and many of its designs allude to the motor racing world with sporty touches such as bold stripes. Its Timeless collection is so called because the designs are classic enough to suit any man and almost any occasion. Behind each of the brand’s designs is a solid foundation of great craftsmanship. Straps are
handmade in Belgium and, though Belgian in design, every watch is equipped with a Swiss movement; the prestigious Valjoux 7750 movement to be exact. Only the best will do for Raidillon’s timepieces. This season, look out for the brand’s latest watch, the Curve. This striking timepiece features an asymmetric case of stainless steel with sapphire glass atop the dial. Innovative in shape, it retains two key Raidillon design signatures; its case back is transparent, revealing a steering wheel-like movement, and its leather strap features large holes and visible stitching. As with every Raidillon watch, only 55 of this model will be made, guaranteeing exclusivity. The brand also offers a range of luxury accessories to complement its watches; again, these

are aimed at the discerning motor enthusiast. The City briefcase and Weekend bag are particular highlights of the new collection. When it comes to expertly crafted clothing, gentlemen should look no further than Degand. Established in Brussels in 1983, the maison reflects founder Pierre Degand’s passion for true luxury in fashion. He began by bringing together some of the finest makers in the world, and made a commitment to offer only the most exquisitely produced garments and accessories. To this day, Degand provides ready-to-wear – as well as semi-bespoke pieces – by some of the world’s most prestigious and exacting specialists. Come here for a suit by Brioni or a shirt by Kiton
– a Naples-based tailor known as one of the best in the world. It’s not just the craftsmanship of others that Degand offers. Belgium’s most discerning gentlemen – including royalty – come to the maison for completely bespoke pieces. On hand are tailors and makers of shoe lasts (wooden moulds from which bespoke shoes are created), ensuring Degand can provide a head-to-toe, made-tomeasure formal wardrobe. For more casual occasions, the maison offers the brand’s relaxed yet chic ready-to-wear selection, from simple polo shirts to luxurious suits. The approval of the Degand family is only given to pieces of the highest quality made to exacting standards. Why settle for anything less?

24: EXQUISITE EXPERTISE 精湛绝技
比 利时的顶级 工匠 正在证明， 传统手工艺 在 如今和以往一样 令人艳羡，Hannah Lewis如是说 作为 世界上 最古老 的奢 侈皮具 品牌 之 一，Delvaux对于手工 艺 可谓了如 指 掌。这 家创 立于 1829年 的品牌 比其 祖 国还 要古老，比 利 时是在一 年 之后才 成 为了独 立国家。Delvaux扎 根于历 史，但也 不 断 开 拓创 新；它和 许 多其 他 比 利 时品牌一 同证明了，精 湛 的手 工 艺与不朽 的设 计在 今 天也 和以往一 样 令人艳 羡。 虽 然现 在 想 来有些 难以 置信，但 从 前人们 可是没有手 袋 的。直到 19世 纪 铁 路 交 通不 断演 进，手 袋 才成 为 女 性 旅行 者必 不 可少 的物 件。19世 纪 80年 代，品牌创 始 人Charles Delvaux看 中了这 种 新 兴 配饰 的 潜力，他 的同名 公司成 为了世界上 最早为手 袋申请 专 利 的企 业之一。自此 以后，手 袋 就 一直
稳 居 于 Delvaux品牌 的 核心。从各界 名流 到 皇 室贵胄，比 利 时上下— —以 及 全 球 各地 — — 独具慧 眼 的女 士 都 对 该品牌 的作品爱不 释手。为什么？ 因为 这 些 手 袋 是由一些 技 艺 冠 绝 全 世 界 的工 匠 严 选 最优 质 的 材料 打造而成 的；他们 经 手 的设 计品 也 必 将 经得起 时间的考验。 每 一只 Delvaux手 袋 都是由名匠 大 师费尽苦心，按照 最 严 苛 的 标准 打 造 的。专家们 先 从法国和 意 大 利 的制 革厂物 色 最 上等 的兽皮（该品牌 的特 色 产品包 括 鳄 鱼 皮、珍 珠 鱼 皮、鸵鸟 皮 和 蟒 蛇 皮等 充 满异 域 风情 的珍 贵 皮革）。接 着，这 些 皮革 被 精心 储藏 在 Delvaux皮革库中，工 匠们 会仔细 从中选出最完 美 的皮革来制 作手 袋。 他们 从 这 些 皮革 上切 割出手 袋 的每 一 个 部 分 — — 无论 大小 — — 并单 独 加 工，通 过专业 的处 理，使 其 在 厚度 和 柔 软 度 等方面达 到明确 的 规 格。从 头 到尾，每 一处 细 节 都一 丝不 苟。工 匠

团队甚 至 还 会 测 量 皮革 上各 处 针脚 之 间的距 离。 手工 技 艺自然是 Delvaux魅力固 有 的一 部 分。不过，世界顶 级 的设 计 也同样 重要。除了经 典款 式 之外，该 品牌每 个季度 都 会推 出由各种更 新 版 热 门产品和 全 新 款 式 组 成 的当季 系列。Le Brillant是该品牌 的 招 牌包 款；经 典 的造 型 散 发 着 雕 塑 般 的感 觉，今 天 的它 就 和 1958年 刚推 出时一 样 令人 梦寐以求。数 十 年来，该 款 式 经 过了无数 次 重 新 设 计；本 季，您 将 见 到 一 个单色 的版 本，宛 如 错 视 画一 般 的设 计对光 影展 开了探 索，全黑 的 包身搭 配 着 一 条黑白相 间的可 拆 卸 蛇 腹 形皮带。这 些 手 袋 摩登而 时 髦，也 定 将让 您 爱不 释手 — — 杰出的设 计 不 会 过 时。 Delvaux并不是 唯 一 一家领 衔 世 界 级手工 艺 的品牌。比 利 时腕 表制 作 商 Raidillon创 立于 2001年，致力于 结 合 最 新技 术与代代 相 传 的手工 艺 绝 活。该品牌从 豪车 与赛 车 的世界中汲 取灵 感，其目标 顾客 便 是 风 度非凡 的 驾 驶者 — — 既 热 爱 汽 车也懂 得 奢 侈 之内涵、品味 独具一 格 的男士。 Raidillon的名 字取自于 F1锦 标 赛 比 利 时 站 的举办地 — — 斯 帕 -弗 朗 科尔尚赛 道中最 著名的一 条 弯 道；Raidillon的许 多设 计 都 与赛 车世 界不无 关系，醒目的条 纹等 赛 车元 素 随 处可见。Timeless系列 之 所以取 这个名 字，是因为其作品经 典脱 俗，足 以满足任 何人和几乎 任 何场 合 的要求。品牌 的 每 一 件 设 计 都是 建 立在 卓 越 工 艺 的坚 实基 础 之 上 的。所有表 带 均 在 比 利 时手工 打造，所有表 款 虽也 是在 比 利 时 设 计，但均 配备了 瑞 士机 芯，即享 誉业界 的 Valjoux globalblue.cn
7750机 芯。只有最 好 的，才 配 得上 Raidillon的 时计。 本 季，该品牌 最 新推 出的 Curve 腕 表 值得 关注。这 枚引人注目的 时计 饰 有不 对 称 的不 锈 钢 表壳，蓝 宝石 玻 璃 罩 在 表 盘 上。虽在 外形上有所 创 新，它依然 保留了 Raidillon品牌 的两大 设 计 特 色：表壳背部为 透 明 状，如 车 轮 般 运转 着 的 机 芯一览 无 余；皮革 表 带上饰 有 较 大 的 扣 眼和 清 晰 可见 的针脚。和所有 的 Raidillon 腕 表 一样，该 款 式仅有 55枚问世，因 而无 比尊贵 奢 华。该品牌 还 提 供一 系列 奢 侈皮具，可与其 腕 表 相 映 成 趣；同样 地，这 些 皮具也 是专为 慧 眼 非凡 的赛 车爱 好者打造。City公文包 和 Weekend手 袋 是 新季系列中的两 大亮 点。 说 到 做 工 精妙 的服 装，Degand
工匠团队甚至还 会测量皮革上 各处针脚之间的 距离
52
就 是 翩 翩 绅 士 的不二 之 选。该品牌 创 立于 1983年 的布鲁 塞尔，创 始 人 Pierre Degand对真正 的 时尚奢 侈 品 充 满 热 情，这也 淋 漓尽致 地体 现 在 其作品之中。创 业之初，他聚合了许 多世界上 最 顶 尖 的制 作 商，并立 志他 的精品店只 经 营做 工 最为 细 致 的服 装与配饰。从彼 时到 今日，Degand 一直 为顾客 提 供着由全 世界最 知名、 最 严 苛 的专家 打造 的成 衣 以及半定制 作品。您 不妨来 这 里 挑一 件 Brioni的 正 装 或 Kiton的 衬 衫 — — 扎 根于那 不 勒 斯 的 Kiton是世界上 最杰出的西装 品牌 之一。 Degand呈现 的并不只 是 别家的手 工 技 艺。比 利 时最有品 位 的绅 士 — — 包 括皇 室 成 员 — — 都 会 请 该品牌 打 造完 全 定制 的作品。有裁 缝 和 匠 人常 驻 店中，Degand可以提 供一 套从 头 到脚、度 身 制 作 的正 式 服 饰。至于 较 随 意 的场 合，和 主 店相 邻 的精品店 陈 列 着 该品牌休闲 而 时 髦 的精 选 成 衣， 从简单 的马球 衫 到 奢 华无 比的套 装 一 应俱 全。Degand家 族 的认可只会 给 予那 些 按照 最 严格 标准 打造 的最优 质 作品。为什么要退而求其 次呢？

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 24: EXQUISITE EXPERTISE
МАСТЕРСТВО ВЫСШЕЙ ПРОБЫ
Ханна Льюис рассказывает о бельгийских мастерах, которые переосмысляют традиционное ремесло Бренд кожаных аксессуаров Delvaux знает толк в ремеслах. Он был основан в 1829 году и старше даже своей родины – Бельгии, которая стала независимым государством на год позже. Внимание к истории в этой компании не противоречит ее интересу к передовым технологиям. В Бельгии развита ремесленная традиция, и Delvaux – это живой пример того, что высокий уровень мастерства и хороший дизайн никогда не устаревают. Теперь сложно в это поверить, но когда-то дамских сумок не существовало. Они появились во время бума железнодорожных путешествий в 19 веке и навсегда стали неотъемлемым элементом женского багажа. В 1880-е Шарль Дельво разглядел потенциал в новом предмете гардероба, и его компания первой в мире запатентовала сумку. С тех пор эти аксессуары составляют основу ассортимента Delvaux. Самые взыскательные женщины Бельгии и всего мира, от знаменитостей до членов королевских семей, ждут коллекций этого бренда. Почему? Потому что его сумки сделаны истинными профессионалами из лучших материалов, а их дизайн с легкостью проходит проверку временем.
Мастера Delvaux четко следуют строжайшим стандартам. У них есть собственные поставщики – лучшие французские и итальянские кожевенные фабрики, которые выпускают экзотические и редкие виды кожи, в том числе из аллигатора, рыб, страуса и питона. Столь ценный материал бережно хранится в кожевенной библиотеке Delvaux, в которой мастера вдумчиво выбирают отрезы кожи для каждой конкретной сумки. Затем они раскраивают все отсеки будущей сумки, от самых маленьких до больших, и прорабатывают каждый до идеального соответствия по толщине, мягкости и другим параметрам. С самого начала и до конца, кожевенники не упускают из вида ни единой детали, вплоть до расстояния между стежками на коже. Качество, конечно, играет основную роль в привлекательности Delvaux, но нельзя недооценивать и роль дизайна. Бренд выпускает сезонные коллекции, в которых всегда есть и классические, и новые модели. Например, сумка Le Brillant не утрачивает популярности с презентации в 1958 году благодаря классическому стилю. За прошедшие десятилетия она перевыпускалась бесчисленное количество раз. Вот и в этом сезоне можно увидеть ее новое воплощение – на этот раз черно-белое с эффектом оптической иллюзии, построенной на игре света и тени, и полностью черное с гофрированным контрастным ремешком. Эти сумки смотрятся современно и оригинально, и несомненно прослужат не один год.

По-настоящему хороший дизайн не стареет. Бельгийский производитель часов Raidillon, основанный в 2001 году, также сделал ставку на качество. Он сконцентрировался на применении новейших технологий к лучшим ремесленным практикам, которые передаются через поколения. Общий стиль заимствован у скоростных автомобилей и автогонок, и обладатели часов Raidillon похожи на их водителей: внимательные к деталям мужчины, которые любят хорошие машины и понимают истинный смысл роскоши. Свое название Raidillon позаимствовал у самого известного поворота гоночной трассы Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, где проводится Гран-при Бельгии чемпионата Формула-1. Об этой связи с гоночным спортом призваны напоминать яркие полосы и другие декоративные элементы. Неслучайно и название коллекции Timeless: в нее входят классические модели, которые подойдут каждому мужчине практически в любой ситуации. Браслеты для них вручную производятся в Бельгии, и сами часы, будучи бельгийскими по дизайну, оснащаются швейцарским механизмом, а именно – престижным Valjoux 7750. Неудивительно: Raidillon выбирает только лучшее для своих часов. В этом сезоне стоит обратить внимание на новую модель Curve с асимметричным стальным корпусом и сапфировым стеклом. Необычные по форме, эти часы сохраняют две характерные черты дизайна Raidillon. Прозрачная задняя часть корпуса globalblue.ru | globalblue.com
открывает механизм, похожий на руль, а кожаный ремешок украшают отверстия и видимые стежки. Все часы Raidillon выпускаются тиражом 55 экземпляров, что гарантирует эксклюзивность каждой модели, и Curve – не исключение. В дополнение к часам бренд разработал роскошные аксессуары, предназначенные, в первую очередь, для ценителей гонок. В этой коллекции стоит присмотреться к портфелю City и сумке Weekend. За одежду ремесленного производства отвечает бутик Degand, основанный в Брюсселе в 1983 году. Его ассортимент отражает любовь основателя Пьера Дегана к подлинной роскоши в моде. Он решил собрать в одном месте лучших производителей мирового уровня и своей репутацией гарантирует качество ассортимента. По сей день магазин Degand продает готовые коллекции престижных брендов: например, костюмы Brioni и рубашки неаполитанского портного Kiton. В Degand есть и отдел пошива на заказ. За этим в модный дом обращаются истинные джентльмены, в том числе члены королевской семьи. Собственные портные и обувщики компании способны воплотить полный деловой гардероб по индивидуальной мерке. В бутике при ателье можно приобрести повседневную одежду из готовых коллекций Degand, от простых рубашек-поло до самых роскошных костюмов. Каждая вещь Degand на практике подтверждает, что семья Деган придерживается стандартов высочайшего качества. Так стоит ли соглашаться на меньшее?
