Gouttes de Cristal Premier Bag – Julien Fournié Haute Couture
An Exceptional Design
Unveiled at the Haute Couture First Shield runway show, the Goutte de Cristal Premier Bag immediately captured attention. Crafted from metallic lamb leather, this Haute Couture bag catches and reflects light with every movement, creating a subtly iridescent shimmer.
The flap, cut from anthracite gazar, contrasts beautifully thanks to intricate embroidery of micro-beads, delicate tubes, and finely faceted crystal shards arranged in a Shetland-inspired motif that evokes wild, windswept landscapes.
Each bead, tube, and crystal fragment is hand-placed in a marriage of strength and grace—where the resilience of metallic leather meets the fragile poetry of couture ornamentation. This balance of cool textures and sparkling accents gives the bag a look that’s both decidedly modern and deeply rooted in artisan tradition, a true couture talisman that elevates any silhouette.

The Story of the Premier Bag
Each season, Julien Fournié reimagines his iconic Premier Bag in very limited editions, honoring artisanal heritage. Once reserved exclusively for his haute couture clients—often acquired alongside their custom gowns—these haute couture bags are now offered to all women who wish to enrich their wardrobe with a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind accessory.
Craftsmanship and Expertise
Production of the Premier Bag relies on haute couture techniques, especially hand embroidery. Julien Fournié personally oversees every stage, ensuring each piece meets the Maison’s exacting standards of quality.
Natural and Local Materials
Maison Julien Fournié partners with French suppliers, selecting natural, biodegradable, and precious materials whose provenance is rigorously verified.
Versatility and Exclusivity
The Premier Bag adapts to your every whim: worn crossbody, over the shoulder, or as an evening clutch thanks to its removable chain. Designed never to be replicated, it allows each woman to own a piece as rare and personalized as a bespoke couture gown.
This Haute Couture bag has been unveiled during the fashion show of First Shield Haute Couture collection.
