This New Fall/Winter 2024 Collection Looks So Parisian!

Just a quick blog post today to show you the gorgeous new fall/winter 2024 collection from the Parisian brand Gerard Darel. But before we dive in, a quick note: this post (like all posts on this blog) is not sponsored! I stumbled upon this new collection, probably on Instagram, and I absolutely loved it. I thought you might love it too :)!

Are you familiar with the brand? I remember Gerard Darel being hugely popular, especially in France in the 2000s and 2010s. Back then, every high school girl (and their mothers) swore by the iconic 24H bag, created in 2003—a true “it-bag”! Gerard Darel is a Parisian brand founded in 1971 by Danièle and Gérard Darel. The brand quickly became a hit with its classic, fluid cuts and effortlessly chic style. In 1996, Mrs. Darel bought Jackie Kennedy’s black pearl necklace at a Sotheby’s auction in New York, which Gerard Darel later reissued. This purchase garnered international attention, with CNN dedicating a feature to the brand. The 24H bag was launched in 2003, characterized by its soft, draped look, which stood out among the stiffer bags of that time. The bag became a hit even before the ad campaign featuring Charlotte Gainsbourg (who was the brand’s ambassador from 2003 to 2008).

So, what do we think about the new fall/winter 2024 collection? It features all the signature elements of the Parisian wardrobe: the tweed jacket, the straight wool coat, the flared velvet jeans, the trench coat, the flowing blouse, the black tuxedo jacket, the herringbone blazer, and the loafers. I adore the seventies vibe of this collection, with its flared pants, capes, sleeveless vests, and soft crossbody bags (though I’ll happily skip the leopard print trend—not really my style). The pieces are simple, modern, refined, and timeless—perfect chic items that you can wear every day without hesitation. There are a few pieces I particularly love and am considering investing in for this winter. Keep scrolling to see them below ;)!

  • I lived in Paris in 2005/2006 and bought the large black Le 24 hr bag. That means I’ve had it for almost 20 years, have used it, abused it, traveled all over with it, and it is just as beautiful, if not more, as when brand new.

    • Wow, Jenifer, that’s so nice to hear! I definitely agree that Gérard Darel is a high-quality brand. I think I’ll probably shop for the cape and the corduroy jeans and save the Le 24h bag for my birthday :). It’s amazing that your bag has lasted almost 20 years and is still as beautiful as ever!
