Lancel is a Parisian luxury house founded in 1876. This iconic Parisian house offers bold and elegant products to keep pace with active modern women. Born in the bustling Faubourgs area, it allies aged-honoured Craft with creative flair. Energetic and vibrant, functionality is coupled with fanciful touches to meet the needs of contemporary women. Precursor at heart, Lancel initially designed products for smokers, incorporating clever details such as briar pipes fitted with a safety coating (1893) or its very first automatic pocket lighter in 1927 which “neither soiled fingers nor gloves”. Its bags, truly versatile multi-faceted purses, later became an indispensable fashion accessory, cleverly replacing women’s pockets. Launched in 1987, its bucket bag still remains today an iconic design and embodies Lancel’s avant-garde style. Innovation also lies at the heart of its luggage range, such as the Mistral bag made with resistant Nylon canvas, which revolutionised travel in 1982. Founded by Angèle and Alphonse Lancel, at 20 passage des Petites Ecuries in Paris, the artisanal pipes factory was transformed into a luxury brand by Albert Lancel in 1901 during the Parisian Roaring Twenties. Its four categories of products for women, men, lifestyle and travel evolved with times and encapsulate the Parisian chic. Settled at 8 Place de l’Opéra since 1929, its flagship store shelters the Lancel spirit. One can glean the new trends and novelties of the brand at this emblematic address where windows open up over the buoyant Parisian life. Lancel keeps up with times and imposes a signature coveted by the impetuous and playful Parisian women, promoting luxury for all.
