Aligning savoir faire with creativity, this is the talent of the House of Desrues, the ‘parurier d'art’. Founded by Georges Desrues in 1929, the factory crafts buttons, jewellery, belt buckles as well as handbag clasps each season. Partners with CHANEL since 1965, Desrues was the first Métier d’art to be acquired by the House in 1985.
