DESIGN AT ITS BEST!

Name: Christian Graciel
Location: France



After a 10 years experience in the fashion industry, Christian Graciel decides to launch his own brand in 2003. Always fascinated by Nature, the designer from Cameroon starts to sculpt bags and jewels out of tropical wood and shell, that he handles with great respect. Thanks to his cooperation with Bugis fishermen in Bali and the best craftsmen, his inspiration comes to life. Expressing the pureness and beauty of Nature in a very contemporary way, the artist creates perfectly unique accessories : rings, brooches, necklaces, jewel buttons, belts and precious bags made of shell, mother of pearl, but also of teak burl, palm tree and rose wood.




How breath taking are his designs.....wow, CAMEROONIANS are definitely going places.
So so proud!

Hoping to get an interview from him soonest
Stay sweet
