An exceptional pair from the early Kris Van Assche era, hailing from the definitive “Lumière du Nord” collection. It features a rich, complex texture that completely shifts depending on the lighting conditions, morphing from a deep, near-opaque black into a shimmering graphite hue. The fabric is engineered from a premium polyester-cotton blend moleskin treated with a fine, low-profile glitter overlay, forging an uneven, multi-dimensional luster that mimics the texture of genuine leather in specific angles. Light gathers into sharp, delicate reflections along the structural folds, while the counterbalancing matte panels inject an incredible sense of depth into the silhouette. Cut in an elongated narrow profile, the piece is detailed with a classic five-pocket architecture, signature darting along the rear panel, and dark tonal hardware explicitly designed not to distract from the main textile.
