“MANSUR GAVRIEL PRESENTS HIGH QUALITY, ITALIAN
MADE PRODUCTS WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO MATERIAL, COLOR AND DETAIL. DESIGNED IN NEW YORK CITY AND
PRODUCED IN ITALY, MANSUR GAVRIEL WAS FOUNDED BY RACHEL MANSUR AND FLORIANA GAVRIEL IN 2012.”
MEET RACHEL & FLORIANA. Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel met in 2010 an XX concert as art school graduates. Rachel was then living in Los Angeles, while Floriana was in Berlin. After establishing a friendship, the two artists discussed a line via e-mail, thus leading to the creation of Mansur Gavriel. Having a shared aesthetic, the two initially drew inspiration from Donald Judd, Keith Haring, and old-Hollywood glamour. The goal was to make a seasonless staple that anyone can love and carry year-round.
“Rach e l t ook m e t o t he flow e r m a r k et , w hic h w as am azin g bec ause we ’re b ot h so obses se d wi t h e ve r yt h in g tha t i s nat u r a l and has a sim ple beaut y : flow er s, le ath e r, c ashm ere, c ot t on.”
— Floriana Gavriel
P R O D U C T Mansur and Gavriel’s goal was to take traditional vegetable tanned leather, a material mostly used in men’s accessories, and create a product that is feminine, sharp, cool, and elegant. They wanted a classic. A gap was within the market and the duo seized the opportunity by creating a bag that was casual enough for everyday use, but luxurious enough to be eye-catching. They wanted clean, detailed, and quality within the $400-$1,000 price point. The label launched their apparel in Fall 2017. Product images courtesy of Mansur Gavriel

I N S P IRATI O N F O R C A PS UL E C O L LEC TI O N Mansur Gavriel’s inaugural jewelry collection is inspired by reinterpreting classic silhouettes and designs from the label. Bag shapes, like the handles of their circular bags, are put into perspective for elegant jewelry pieces, alongside strap detail being incorporated with timeless finishes. Beyond the vision of timelessness and simplicity, we designed with organic lines to replicate the fluidity of Mansur Gavriel’s beautiful, Italian-made tuscan leather. We wanted to do a jewelry collection for Mansur Gavriel as jewelry is becoming a more prominent accessory seen in street style. It would be a great opportunity for the company to capitalize on, especially since they have a rich, distinctive aesthetic.

“...local consumers spent less money on luxury accessories like jewellery and watches whilst spending more on experiences (leisure and recreation)... spending by foreign tourists decreased as they travelled to the US less due to the stronger US dollar, new travel restrictions and visa criteria. Also, with the continuing athleisure trend, consumers wear less jewellery with their outfits. As consumers can find better deals online, this puts pressure on traditional retailers.” “However, the growing number of women with higher education and in the workforce has led to their having greater purchasing power. These consumers are willing to purchase luxury jewellery for themselves, and to wear with different outfits. This trend is creating a great opportunity for luxury brands to grow over the forecast period.” “With the rapid rise of online users, consumers are increasingly using social media for style inspiration.
In order to attract online shoppers, luxury jewellery players are using digital advertisements and marketing, and opening accounts on different social media platforms to engage and build relationship with consumers.
They are no longer using social media platforms simply as a marketing tool but also encouraging or even completing sales transactions.”
T R END IN F O R M AT I O N : S /S 19/20 “MOLDED, MANIPULATED AND CURVILINEAR METALS APPEAR TIMEWORN IN MATTE AND LIQUID GOLD SHINE...” “Metallics defy logic for A/W 19/20 with fluidity and movement, seen via luxurious chains, antique and vintage mesh metals, innovative fluid woven metals and elaborate fringing. Whether as a design detail or fluid whole, liquefied metallics offer a sensuous material direction.”

PACKAGING
Packaging for the Mansur Gavriel jewelry collection will keep true to the minimalist and clean look of the label. Currently, Mansur Gavriel uses a blush tint of pink for their bags and logo; however, we will utilize the same color and update the logo with an exclusive jewelry shopping bag to have a silver- or gold-tone sheen. The jewelry boxes will have the Mansur Gavriel logo embossed, with a satin interior in the Mansur Gavriel pink hue.
