It’s a Sardine, It’s a Tennis Ball, It’s Clare V. for wallshoppe…
Los Angeles designer Clare Vivier, the CFDA designer behind the popular handbag and accessories line introduces her exclusive designs in Clare V. for Wallshoppe.
It was a perfect fit according to Creative Director and friend Nathan Turner (who debuted his own collection last year). “We were looking to collaborate with someone outside the traditional design space,” says Turner. “Clare came to mind immediately. Her look is so strong and she has a sense of fun and whimsy while always maintaining the chic factor.”
Vivier was equally thrilled to collaborate. “Nathan is a person who I say ‘yes’ to before even asking what it is,” says Vivier. “And once I learned about the company, I knew it was going to be a great fit and lots of fun.”
Fun has been a guiding force behind the designer’s work. Her mix of classic shapes, modern detail and French charm has carried over into her Wallshoppe designs launching in Fall 2017 that she describes as “playful, hand-drawn, and chic.”
Pulling from the brand’s design archives, Vivier selected motifs and colors that range from hand-drawn stripes to sweet florals and cheeky takes on bows, eyes and of course, her beloved French flag and sardine patterns.
And then there’s the tennis balls – a pattern Clare V. devotees have longed hoped would return. “We did a bag with tennis balls a while back and we still get emails about it,” she says.
“I love tennis and this is such a great way to speak to it again in a new way.”
“Statement pieces are having a moment. Statement handbags. Statement shoes. Wallpaper is a statement piece for your home.” – Clare Vivier
Fans will see the same French-prep style that is a hallmark of Clare V. The collection has echoes of the brand’s sunny, classic vibe that never takes things too seriously. “All the pieces fit together,” says Vivier. “We have a distinct graphic style but wanted to be sure we presented that side and not be too wacky (i.e. tennis balls). We balance it out with classic patterns and color.”
Like all wallshoppe.com designs, the Clare V. collection is available in both traditional 100% paper rolls and removable panels made from recyclable, non-toxic materials. Printed in Los Angeles, the designs capture the spirit of Vivier’s bags and the brand’s enchanting boutiques.
“The removable wallpaper is so wonderful because you don’t have to take it so seriously,” says Vivier. “I am excited to try some in our stores.”
