CORDIZ’s Bold Leap Forward in the FW24 Collection
written Sarah Arendts
CORDIZ unleashes its FW24 Collection, a striking blend of impeccable French craftsmanship and daring contemporary design. Each piece starts with a spark—whether from daily life, a trip, or a moment of inspiration at home.
Initial sketches capture the designer's intent, while carefully selected materials and textures refine the vision. Collaborating closely with Les Ateliers CORDIZ in Southern France, the team crafts handmade prototypes that balance durability and design, ensuring excellence at every stage.
The fusion of French heritage and modern innovation defines CORDIZ. "French savoir-faire and innovation go hand in hand," the designer explains. The team’s expertise in leatherworking is unparalleled, pushing the boundaries of artisanal knowledge to support a modern vision. This blend of tradition and innovation ensures that every CORDIZ product is a nod to timeless craftsmanship and a reflection of contemporary lifestyles.
The FW24 Collection marks a bold departure, introducing designs that showcase the brand’s evolution. CORDIZ bags, known for their light and fine lines, reveal complex design and geometry upon closer inspection. The upcoming FW24 collection plays with larger volumes and adaptable shapes, combining leather and fabric for a lighter, less formal feel. This shift highlights the brand’s commitment to versatility and casual elegance, catering to a modern clientele constantly on the move. "Cordiz is a growing brand, innovating and maturing with every collection," the designer notes, emphasizing the brand's dynamic identity.
The brand is also a vibrant community of creatives. Collaborations with photographers, stylists, and artists infuse the brand with unique stories and perspectives.
"Authenticity is the common defining value of Cordiz's diverse environment and inspiration," the designer shares. Partnerships form organically, often sparking new projects like the Cordiz X Lecourt Mansion collection, co-designed with long-time friend Nix.
These collaborations, whether with renowned photographers like Hugo Mapelli or emerging talents, enrich the brand's narrative, creating an ever-growing environment of limitless creativity.
CORDIZ carves its niche with the FW24 Collection, a manifesto to the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and modernity. Honoring its French heritage while embracing contemporary design, CORDIZ redefines luxury leather goods. Each piece tells a story of fashion and an ongoing journey toward excellence and authenticity.
