"Most of the artists that I like are from the Mediterranean region, where the nice and cozy weather influences their work. The Danse Lente store décor is formed during this line of thought."

Danse Lente handbags are an Instagrammer's favorite attributable to their angular shapes and clean lines inspired by modern architecture. Now, for the primary time since the brand's inception, it'll have its brick-and-mortar store to indicate its accessories in.

Her debut collection was pre-launched through Net-a-Porter, with Selfridges quickly following suit, and Moda Operandi, Le Bon Marche, and Lane Crawford jumping on board after the success of the primary line.
