Background

A Parisian fan maker founded in 1827 and revived in 2010 by Raphaëlle Le Beaud and Éloïse Gilles, Duvelleroy perpetuates the art of the fan by bringing together heritage and contemporary creation. Inspired by nearly two centuries of history, its collections resonate with the spirit of the times. Each fan is handmade in France or Spain by artisans whose gestures perpetuate exceptional craftsmanship. The house follows two traditions: small-series production in Spain, in the Valencia region — the historic cradle of fan-making — where cotton leaves are prepared, pleated, and hand-mounted on wooden frames; and French Haute Façon, which gives rise to exceptional pieces combining textile work, precious woods, feather marquetry, and the expertise of master frame-makers. Through these creations, Duvelleroy restores the fan to its place both as an everyday object and as a collector’s piece.

Signature Style

At Duvelleroy, lightness is taken very seriously. Each fan is conceived as an object that is at once aesthetic, functional, and steeped in history, where the precision of artisanal craftsmanship meets a contemporary perspective. The house’s emblem is a daisy. Already present on the rivets of fans during the Belle Époque, this simple wildflower embodies the spirit of freshness and elegance that defines the Duvelleroy universe. It also symbolizes the delicacy and lightness that have animated the brand for nearly two centuries.
