For its new limited-edition collection Rose Delight, diptyque is\u00a0bringing the Orient into the lovers\u2019 garden, drawing inspiration from the\u00a0Turkish Delight, a luscious sweet born on the shores of the Bosphorus.\u00a0Rose under the influence. This delicately full-bodied redolence is captured by\u00a0the pop-oriented eye of a rising star in the world of graphic design. In the\u00a0background, the Toile de Jouy \u2013 cotton fabric featuring bucolic images that\u00a0created quite a stir among the 18th century Versailles elite. This printed\u00a0fabric lined the walls of the avant-garde aristocrats salons, embodying\u00a0what would come to be known as the French Touch long before its time.<\/p>\n
Under Leslie David\u2019s mischievous wand, loves frolics take on oriental motifs,\u00a0echoing Rose Delight\u2019s sweet smell. Peacocks and palm trees, swans and the\u00a0Taj Mahal, the chivalrous rural scenes Marie Antoinette loved so much steal
\nthe show. At that same time, in Constantinople, a young confectioner invented\u00a0a soft, tender treat in which candied rose unites with honey under the blessings\u00a0of lemon and powdered sugar giving birth to the incomparable Turkish Delight.
\nSoon, couples began to ofter each other these sweets wrapped in little handkerchiefs\u00a0as a symbol of their love.<\/p>\n
A nod to diptyque\u2019s early days: boulevard Saint-\u00a0Germain, at the very beginning, when the brand\u2019s\u00a0co-founders, Christiane Gautrot and Desmond Knox-\u00a0Leet designed printed upholstery fabrics which they\u00a0made and sold in their boutique, along with their first\u00a0scented candles.<\/p>\n
A nod to the Orient: the Toile de Jouy, a true globetrotter,\u00a0followed in the footsteps of India\u2019s world famous\u00a0cotton prints sold by the East India trading\u00a0company until the 17th century.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
