After more than a year of renovation, the Hôtel de Crillon decided to recycle the canvas used to cover the front of the luxurious hotel.
Indeed, the hotel located in Paris covered its historic façade with a huge trompe-l’oeil of 1300 m² during the renovation period. At the end of the work, as the canvas was no longer needed, the hotel decided to re-use the material instead of throwing it away. With the help of the brand Bilum, an exclusive and unique purse and accessories line has been created.
The line will be launched during the Sustainable Development Week. The average price for a bag is 65 euros and for each piece sold, a portion of the receipts will be donated to the association of the ‘Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle’. The 450 pieces will be available at the hotel shop.
