CLARIS VIROT

When the brand was first launched in 2014, Claris Virot’s first collections were exclusively made of python for the simple reason that this material was only used by luxury brands. The main idea was to desacralize the use of python by offering a range of products with interesting and more competitive prices than those applied by institutional houses while keeping an irreproachable quality. The advantage of python is that it can be processed in different ways: printed, plain or hand painted using natural pigments for colors with an extremely wide range of shades. Later on, equally noble skins such as lizard or crocodile became part of the collection, as did suede or leather used in for details and finishes of the pieces. 

The Claris Virot brand puts a lot of efforts in offering a wide range of skins within her existing and newest collections. Last summer, she introduced the basket and this autumn, she unveiled the new 100% leather line. Tanned, grained, smooth or tie and dye: the leather that she uses in all of her references, is handcrafted in the Balinese workshops. Since the creation of the brand 5 years ago, Clarisse made a point of honor to exclusively develop her products with a local partner and artisans who manufacture for her brand. That way, she is complete control of her production process – handling from A to Z the productions of the skins all the way to the bag chain. 

Her creative process is purely instinctive: not only she creates what she wants, but she creates what she feels lack on the market. Since the opening of her first showroom in the heart of the 16th arrondissement in Paris, Clarisse has been in close contact with her customers. As an established brand, Claris Virot has now its bestsellers like the Charly bag. Its signature is in the suppleness and the quality of the python in addition to the skin colors that patinate from year to year.

For Clarisse Virot, color is above all a synonym of spontaneity and cheerfulness.  Claris Virotis an energetic brand using color as a signature following trends, fashion and the desires of her customers. It is an everyday brand! "From midday to midnight" her clients happily remind her. It is a brand that has been identified as cheerful and fashionable yet at affordable prices and has been able to counter the offer of many major brand designers’ bags.
