Paris-based Bag Brand 'JACK GOMME' Launches Limited Collaboration with Artist Marianna Ladreyt

A new collaboration collection from the Paris-based bag brand 'JACK GOMME', handled by H.P.FRANCE S.A. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kenichiro Tomitaka), and the Paris-based designer/artist 'Marianna Ladreyt' will be introduced. This collection was realized following an encounter at the 'Festival International de Mode, de Photographie et d’Accessoires de Hyères', known as a gateway to success for young creators. Based on JACK GOMME's iconic bags 'LIRIS' and 'KANGOUROU', this limited collection crosses Marianna Ladreyt's bold color sense and free forms. By utilizing upcycled buoy materials and brand stock fabrics, it fuses a sustainable perspective with artistic sensibilities. It proposes a new bag collection where practicality and humor coexist. It will be available for purchase starting Friday, May 22, 2026, at H.P.FRANCE affiliated stores that carry JACK GOMME.

## A Collaboration Born from the Hyères International Festival

This collection originated from an encounter at the 'Festival International de Mode, de Photographie et d’Accessoires de Hyères', an international design festival held in Hyères, France. Started in 1986, the festival is recognized as a platform to discover young fashion designers, photographers, and accessory designers worldwide, producing numerous creators such as Anthony Vaccarello and Viktor&Rolf. There, JACK GOMME's founders Sophie & Paul and Marianna Ladreyt resonated with each other's bold sense of color, unexpected forms, and perspectives on freely reconstructing materials. In this collection, the functionality of JACK GOMME and the experimental sensibilities of Marianna Ladreyt intersect to create a new bag collection.

## Reconstructing the Brand's Iconic Bags from an Upcycling Perspective

This collection adopts JACK GOMME's representative iconic models 'LIRIS' and 'KANGOUROU' as its base. Through Marianna Ladreyt's bold coloring and free use of materials, the brand's staple bags are reinterpreted from a new perspective. 'KANGOUROU', loved as a symbol of the brand since its debut in 1995, has been updated into a 'hublot' (porthole) specification incorporating a transparent front panel. The unique structure that allows a peek into the inside of the bag creates a sense of three-dimensionality and lightness. Furthermore, a small fish mascot, 'AKAMAS', makes an appearance in the collection. As a charm-like presence attached to the bag, it symbolizes the humorous worldview unique to this collaboration.

All items use upcycled buoy materials and leftover stock fabrics kept by the brand. The design, incorporating chance by combining different materials and colors, produces a unique expression for each piece. By adding Marianna Ladreyt's artistic sensibilities to the functionality and lightness that JACK GOMME has always valued, the collection is finished as a bag for everyday use that also radiates a presence like an art piece.
