GB David, between modernity and French tradition
Since the earliest civilisations, leather has been used to make clothes and small objects, particularly in Egypt and Greece. Over time, the craft of leatherwork became an ‘art’. From the 13th century onwards, leather became synonymous with wealth and distinction in combination with fur, and demand grew. Up until the beginning of the 20th century, the function of leather goods evolved and the practicality of leather objects became increasingly combined with aesthetics. In the post-war years and the 1950s, handbags became wardrobe essentials. From then until now, fashion houses have vied with each other in the creativity of their collections. Handbags, in real or alternative leather, fabric or even tote bags, remain at the heart of fashion trends, and have become an inseparable part of the look.
GB David, in the most authentic French tradition, has kept pace with the development of new trends while preserving the fundamentals of the manufacturing process: high-quality leather, work by master craftsmen and handmade production that you can feel from the choice of skins to the finishing touches.
