diptyque: back to the roots with new items in the Collection 34

Since 2014, diptyque has been reviving the spirit of the first store opened by the brand’s founders at
34 Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris, through a collection
of Limited Edition objects and fragrances: “La Collection Trente-Quatre”.
Again, this year, diptyque is enchanting the
world’s day-to-day with creations that are
as clearly in sync with the times as they
are deeply linked to days gone by. Each in
its own way, connects us to the timeless
beauty of craftsmanship passed down
from one generation to the next.
Few people know that long before diptyque’s fame grew surrounding
its scented candles and rare essences, the
Boulevard Saint Germain store showcased
upholstery fabric designed by the three
founders themselves.
These fabric archives,
which constitute a graphic and historic
treasure trove, have constantly served to
inspire the brand. Today, as part of the
Collection 34, diptyque is rekindling the
flame with its legendary expertise by offering
three novel items made with innovative
prints: a pouch, a tote and a pillow cover.
Long before working on the patterns, the
company focused on finding the finest linen,
this historic fabric with inimitable durability
and feel. the pursuit led to western flanders,
the village of meulebeke, where the search
ended at Libeco, a family business founded
in 1858. five generations of expert linen
makers have been selling their impeccable
weaves to connoisseurs in Japan, Australia,
new Zealand and the USA.
Drawing her inspiration from the
diptyque legacy, the prints made by
the illustrator Charlotte Gastaut are
contemporary interpretations of the brand’s original designs. moved by the Légende,
Prétorien and Paladin motifs, Charlotte
freely developed new color plays and subtle
pairings of abstract shapes.
