Bruno Frisoni, creative director of Roger Vivier - a french high fashion house specializing in luxury shoes, chic handbags and luxury leather accessories -, is debuting RENDEZ VOUS, a traveling accessories collection that, beginning in January 2011, will make brief stops at seven Vivier boutiques (New York, Miami, Paris, London, Milan, Shanghai, and Hong Kong), one at a time. Comprising nine bag and nine shoe styles–only about 10 pieces of each have been produced–the line is designed with natural materials such as leather, wood, cord, and tea-dyed canvas and takes inspiration from artists Gotthard Graubner and Charley Harper. The art connection is apropos, since Frisoni likens the experiment to a gallery showing: “The collection arrives at a certain date, stays for a week, and when the edition is out, it’s finished.” Sounds like a catfight in the making. “I don’t think so,” the designer remarks, adding that eager customers can place pre-orders beginning in November 2010. “We’re too chic at Roger Vivier to fight in stores.” Shoes range from $995 to $10,300, bags from $1,275 to $8,600.

The “Rendez-Vous” collection elaborates whimsy and rich craftsmanship that firmly establish Roger Vivier as one of the couture’s premiere accessories houses.
