Timeless is an oft-overused word, but it couldn't more accurately describe Roger Vivier's designs. For example, the designer's Belle Vivier shoes (famously worn by Catherine Deneuve in the film, ) remain as chic as they did when they were first launched in 1965. Now what you call sartorial staying power.
So when the brand debuted a new must-have bag, we sat up and took notice. Classic yet contemporary, the Viv' Choc is handmade in Italy from draped leather with gently rounded edges – a nod to the distinctive, curved Choc heel, first dreamt up by Monsieur Vivier in 1959, 65 years ago. Out front, the label's signature, rounded buckle frames a sleek, turn-key lock.
At the back, there is a slip pocket – perfect for keeping your phone close at hand. It is suspended upon a decorative-link chain, which can be detached and swapped out for the shoulder strap, or it can be styled as a clutch. It's chic, it's versatile – and we're quite sure it's going to be a future classic.
The Viv' Choc was designed by Roger Vivier's creative director Gherardo Felloni, with timelessness and modernity, opulence and practicality in mind. It's made up of over 70 individual pieces, including custom hardware – a testament to the brand's legacy of impeccable craftsmanship. The bag features in the brand's recent 'Vivier Express Travelling Icons', a series of short films that showcase the maison's iconic designs.
