The Box

A Luxury Showcase in a Black Box

The accessory - object of every temptation – is now collected as some form of cult figure. Shoes, bags, belts and jewellery are the stars of the catwalk and precious and indispensable for our lifestyles.
They sign a silhouette, finishing its look. « More than just an accessory, it’s a look », announces the latest Jérôme Dreyfuss handbag catalogue.
Carried along by its « addict » image and a constantly renewed creativity, the accessory sector is growing:
-with an export turnover of 2.07 billion euros, the leather goods trade rose 13.71% in 2005.
- a rise of 17.61% for costume jewellery, with 199.1 million euros of export in 2005 (source: Ubifrance, data: GTA).
With THE BOX, PRÊT À PORTER PARIS® responds to a demand by creative, up-market labels, seeking a specific, privileged exhibition space. A demand echoed by the 43,000 international visitors who expressed in the September 2005 post-trade fair suvey, a desire to see assembled a highly selective offer, corresponding to the demands of our time: 32%
of the trade fair’s visitors seek fashion accessories.
Costume jewellery is in good form in France:
