Roger Vivier has introduced a new milestone in the Middle East with the launch of its Abu Dhabi Exclusive Efflorescence Jewel Bag Collection, created in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO).
The capsule of four designs will be available exclusively at the Maison’s Abu Dhabi boutique, celebrating the elegance and vitality of the UAE capital.
Each piece in the collection draws inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. A rich green satin bag embroidered with natural stones evokes the lush mangroves, while a silver tweed design adorned with metallic roses and pearls references the city’s pearl-diving history and modern skyline. A natural linen bag reflects the hues of the emirate’s golden beaches, and a black satin creation embellished with tiger eye stones pays tribute to local wildlife, symbolising the falcon and the El Reem gazelle. Each bag features a customised mirror engraved with a special reference to the city.
Central to the design is the sculptural handle, crafted using an intricate torchon technique. Three brass chains, each more than three metres long, are hand-wrapped around a tubular base in a process that takes over seven hours. The bags are finished with a crystal-flower buckle, imagined by Creative Director Gherardo Felloni and inspired by antique jewellery techniques, transforming each piece into a timeless collectible.
The Abu Dhabi boutique will host a curated in-store event in October to mark the collection’s debut. The launch follows two previous milestones for the Maison in the emirate this year: the global exclusive presentation of its Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Jardin à la Vivier, and its first Ramadan capsule collection.
Noora Al Foulathi, Head of Abu Dhabi Retail, said, “In collaboration with Roger Vivier, we proudly unveil the Abu Dhabi Exclusive Efflorescence Jewel Bags, a limited-edition collection available only in the capital. Inspired by the spirit and natural allure of Abu Dhabi, these creations embody the city’s unique ability to unite global artistry with local inspiration.”
The collaboration between ADIO and Roger Vivier underscores Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a global luxury destination, blending international craftsmanship with regional creativity. With its cultural institutions, high-end retail, and commitment to experiential luxury, the city continues to strengthen its role as a hub for art, fashion and innovation.
