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.

Cloisonné, derived from the French term meaning "partition," has its origins in Turkish culture and is an ancient technique used to create intricate designs with metal filaments and vibrant glass enamels. This delicate process involves bending thin metal wires into various shapes to form small, detailed designs. The wires are then filled with colored enamels that remain distinct due to the raised walls of the metal partitions, which prevent colors from bleeding during the firing process. This centuries-old art form results in intricate, eye-catching creations that capture the beauty of color and craftsmanship.
The masterful elegant piece took over 3 months with over 6 craftsmen involved at various stages.
