Claude Préval Rewrites the Codes of Slow Luxury
Few luxury labels launch themselves with such panache and mastery. Claude Préval is one of those brands that sets the tone from the moment it is introduced. The brainchild of a French-Haitian designer raised in the United States, the brand seeks to redefine the codes of contemporary luxury through an approach both timeless and balanced, celebrating exquisite craftsmanship, noble materials, and a philosophy of understated refinement. Each piece is designed as a manifesto of long-lasting beauty: clean lines, harmonious proportions, and meticulous craftsmanship produced in France and Italy, in workshops that adhere to the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
Presented last night at the Ritz Paris, the first collection unveils a series of women’s bags whose architectural elegance is already making the Ketley design, a tribute to the founder’s mother, a signature piece.
At the event, we met Willy Cartier, Nicolas Theil, Fumihiro Kokobun, Marie-Alexandrine Yvernault, Tiphaine Cogez Cousseau, Niki Galopin, and Alexis Mabille.
