Delphine-Charlotte Parmentier

It was her grandparent’s buttons and belts workshop where Delphine-Charlotte Parmentier developed her creativity and imagination. She graduated from Studio Berot in 1989 and decided to direct her talent towards creating and producing costume jewellery and fashion accessories.

Over the three subsequent years, Delphine-Charlotte worked as a freelance accessories designer and collaborated with Jeanne Lanvin, Thierry Mugler and Claude Montana

In 1991, she launched her own workshop and discovered the freedom to dedicate her time to creating jewellery. Very soon, the originality of her pieces attracted the attention of a number of designers, namely Christian Lacroix, Emmanuel Ungaro and Christian Dior.

1997 saw the opening of Delphine-Charlotte’s boutique in the heart of the Marais district in Paris; above which also housed her workshop where she experimented with different techniques using raw material sourced from the best suppliers. It was no doubt her rigour and creativity that led her to the start of a close collaboration with Chanel in 1999.

Delphine-Charlotte launched her men’s line in September 2004 and created a collection for the house of Swarovski, which gave her the opportunity to create a unique piece for the house. The piece was showcased alongside other chosen designers at a catwalk show.

Her projects for the future suggest a couture line as well as travelling and continuing her dream.
