Inspiration
The « Cabriolet » shape is a classic of the French Hand-fan tradition. The distinctive feature of this shape is the aperture cut parallel to the Grand Tour (top of the leaf) and to the Petit Tour (bottom of the leaf). In the contemporary version created by the Maison Duvelleroy, this aperture becomes more playful and changes position to become asymmetrical.
Savoir-faire
The craftsman hand-cuts the silk leaf in one gesture to create the aperture distinctive of the cabriolet shape. These two parts of the leaf are then pleated and as they are assembled to the sticks, the craftsman inlays the feathers.
