The Meet between Jade and Olivia Clergue
Born in Arles, Olivia Clergue grew up surrounded by artists, with her vision shaped by her father, renowned photographer Lucien Clergue. Her godfather, the legendary Pablo Picasso, infused her with a passion for sculpture and drawing, which she pursued at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. She further honed her craft by studying fashion design at ESMOD in Paris and Latin American literature at UNAM in Mexico.
Olivia's fashion journey began in her family home in Arles, where she would borrow items from her mother's extensive collection of Yves Saint Laurent clothing and accessories. The elegance of their cut, the originality of their colors, and the quality of their materials left an indelible mark on her and inspired her to create her own line of accessories, launching her brand in 2008.
With a deep commitment to respecting both people and the environment, Olivia Clergue designed bags that are not only elegant and feminine but also eco-friendly and made in France.
In 2023, Olivia decided to step back from her active role. The teams at Jade and Olivia met and unanimously agreed to continue the legacy of ten of her designs that align with the innovative materials offered by Jade.
We are honored to have crossed paths with such an inspiring woman and are proud to carry forward the torch, contributing to the longevity of her visionary and meticulously crafted designs, further enriched by Olivia's experience.
