Gérard Darel

Gérard Darel: A French Leather Goods House Founded in 1971

The Gérard Darel brand was founded in 1971 in the Sentier district of Paris, the historic cradle of haute couture. From its inception, it established a classic, chic, and timeless style that quickly captivated the world of luxury ready-to-wear. The house distinguished itself through its expertise in leather goods, creating premium calfskin handbags that rapidly became essential pieces in women's wardrobes.

In 2004, Gérard Darel launched the 24H, a revolutionary tote bag in black calfskin that revitalized its image. Within ten years, this model had become an "IT bag," embodying timeless French elegance. The arrival of Charlotte Gainsbourg as its brand ambassador accelerated this rise. In 2008, the brand gained notoriety among Hollywood celebrities like Eva Longoria and Angelina Jolie, who regularly carried the iconic 24H bag.

The Gérard Darel 24H bag: the flagship accessory of French leather goods

The 24H is available in multiple variations to suit all styles and occasions. Offered in caramel leather, Sunset Black, ochre leopard print, or even in a black braided version, this flagship model develops a natural patina over time, offering a unique finish. The premium quilted leather versions enhance its luxurious look, while the mini 24H crossbody bag is an ideal solution for everyday outings. This bag, with its concealed magnetic closure and reinforced handles, offers flexible carrying options, whether worn over the shoulder or across the body.

Gérard Darel handbags: leather, raffia, and fine materials

Gérard Darel offers a diverse collection of women's handbags to meet every need. Leather tote bags with a crinkled or cracked effect embody French craftsmanship, while natural raffia models, like the Mini Romy or the Fanny, offer a bohemian chic touch ideal for summer.
