LAdV has masterfully pioneered the ancient technique of marquetry, transforming it into an art form for fine handbags. Using imported European rye straw, LAdV collaborates with a renowned French marquetry expert to infuse a refined elegance into each design. This meticulous process includes soaking, splitting, sun-drying, and ironing the straw to achieve a spectrum of shades from pale gold to deep brown, ensuring the highest quality in every piece. Once the marquetry is complete, elegant golden lines of embellishments are added, forming new patterns over 5-10 days. The bags are finished with precious and semi-precious decorations, narrating a story of painstaking craftsmanship and design. The process, especially on varying handbag shapes, demands exceptional skill and patience to ensure seamless adhesion and perfect alignment, creating a flawless and luxurious product.
