In 1979, during a meeting, an anemone vase caught Jacques Durand’s attention. Handling the vase, he added to it the stem of a glass. The idea that at that moment planted its seed in the mind of the director led to Cristal d’Arques Paris’ biggest success story: Longchamp. From it’s launch, the lead crystal glass, cut like a diamond, established the brand’s reputation worldwide and became headline news alongside some of the other inventions of that year: the Walkman (Sony) and the Compact Disc (Philips and Sony).
