As a longtime member of this community, I’ve been around for my fair share of brands acquiring a cult-like complying with as well as the thrilled buzz produced after finding what can only be referred to as a fashion treasure trove. One brand in specific that concerns mind is Gerard Darel. established in 1971, the French brand gained traction as a overall it-brand over a decade back in the late 2000s. It was an interesting time to be a handbag lover, as well as the hype around the brand as well as the 24-Heures bag, in particular, cannot be forgotten. numerous handbag Forum threads were devoted to the brand, in addition to lots of PurseBlog articles. I keep in mind being caught up in the trend myself, as well as still to this day resonate with Megs’ story from 2008 of fruitlessly chasing a 36-Heures Gerard Darel throughout Spain.
Like numerous trends, Gerard Darel slowly faded from the forefront of my desire listings as well as I moved on to chase other brands as well as bags. quick ahead to eight years later in 2015 when I was going to Paris with my other half for a long weekend. We were strolling one of my preferred Parisian neighborhoods, Le Marais, when I found it: a Gerard Darel boutique. I instantaneously transported back in time to when I sought after the 24-Heures bag, so I popped in for a peek. To my amazement, the 24-Heures bag was there waiting on me, as well as much better yet, it was on sale. I indulged in my 2008 self as well as bought the bag on the spot, as well as I still have her sitting in my wardrobe today. While I don’t wear my 24-Heures bag all that often, it still brings back fun memories of late nights spent on tPF reading up on the bag.
It’s been a while because I checked out any type of buzz about Gerard Darel, so I chose to take a peek on their site to see what the brand has been up to.
