Sovereignty as a design principle
Design is a language here — one that connects women to the powerful forces of Nature.
Each creation integrates ancestral knowledge
— animal symbolism, Feng Shui, natural geometries, lithotherapy —
to become an object of sovereignty.
Connected to an Animale, each collection carries a specific energy.
An energy designed to accompany Women
in their grounding, their affirmation, their leadership, their power.
A 3.8 ALLÉE FAUVE piece becomes more than an accessory.
It is part of a conscious relationship with the world, with Nature, with oneself.
Animal Design
Each 3.8 ALLÉE FAUVE collection is linked to an Animale, chosen for the energy it embodies.
It acts as an archetype, carrying singular forces.
For its first collection, the Maison chose the Elephant.
Or rather: the Elephant asserted itself.
A great matriarch, guide and sovereign.
Through this collection, 3.8 ALLÉE FAUVE creates pieces designed to connect the woman who wears them to the energy of the Elephant:
an energy of power and vision,
an energy of leadership and sovereignty.
The Elephant handbag has the same conical shape as the Elephant’s leg, thus connecting us to her strong anchorage. The base of the handbag represents the mark of her four nails. Finally, several elements take the shape of her tusks, and are a nod to the end of her tail.
Feng Shui
Rooted in Taoism, Feng Shui is an ancient art devoted to harmonising the flow of energy within spaces. It seeks balance, vitality and prosperity — in the broadest sense.
Because a handbag is an intimate space in motion, the Feng Shui perspective can inform every detail — colours, forms, materials, textures — to support a fluid circulation of energy, in service of the woman who carries it.
Sacred Geometry
Since Antiquity, certain forms have structured sacred spaces.
They elevate, organise, connect.
They are also found throughout Nature :
vegetal spirals, mineral structures, snowflakes.
Sacred geometry is based on these universal proportions, including the Golden Ratio, a symbol of absolute harmony.
The Maison draws inspiration from them to inscribe its creations within a natural harmony.
Lithotherapy
Each natural stone carries a singular vibration. A subtle energy, acting on both the physical and the psychological planes.
For each collection, 3.8 ALLÉE FAUVE selects natural precious and semi-precious stones whose vibrations resonate with the Animale associated with the collection.
They extend meaning, reinforce intention,and anchor the object in a dimension deeper than the visible.
Thus the Elephant collection has recourse to stones such as Lapis-lazuli, which supports our ability to be “Queen in our kingdom”, or even Tiger’s Eye, which has a powerful energy of self-affirmation.
The precious or semi-precious stones are placed on specific elements, such as the ends of the closing cords because they are held by the hands, hands which are directly connected to the heart chakra.
