Lancel

Description

Founded in 1876 in Paris by Angèle and Alphonse Lancel, the Lancel house has established itself as a benchmark of French elegance and innovation in leather goods. Initially specialized in smoking accessories, it soon turned to handbags and small leather goods with bold creativity. Under Albert Lancel’s direction, the brand diversified and expanded its network of boutiques, strengthening its status as a key player in Parisian luxury. A pioneer in its field, Lancel introduced emblematic innovations such as the first automatic pocket lighter in 1927 and the Elsa bucket bag in 1987, now an icon. Today, Lancel continues to honor its rich heritage, blending craftsmanship, contemporary design, and timeless refinement in its women’s, men’s, and travel collections.
