For
the BELMAL house label, and for the GREENE brand, the malletier Jean-Pierre
Bal creates real trunks, one by one, entirely handmade and
based on a unique design. Each custom-fitted item expresses unequaled character. Those
perfectly functional and high luxury prestige trunks can be used for
travel but also for transport of exceptional collection items or appear
in historical films, art and craft exhibitions, or even in fashion
events if not quite simply as interior decoration. The
term expressly-made artwork describes those superb creations made by an
exceptional craftsman in Belgium, as well as during his stays in France.
The BELMAL and GREENE trunks, true masterpieces of art and craftsmanship
intertwined, are made on special commission. The one-time creations that Monsieur Bal
calls his ‘Solitaire’ are often the subject of discreet word
of mouth among connoisseurs who invest in rare and precious objects. At BELMAL and GREENE manufacturing is a perfect fusion of ancestral methods, creativity and techniques from art academies, while using natural materials and ecological products in the manufacturing process hyper-respectful of the environment. The same applies to PARÉ, the brand associated with the Ecoles des Malletiers Gilbert & Paré schools founded by Mr Bal. He there teaches trunkmaking methods and techniques, in Paris notably.
