DRIES VAN NOTEN
head of accessory department
shoes | bags | belts | jewels | gloves
For more than 12 years Liesbet Verstraeten was blessed to lead the Accessory Department at DRIES VAN NOTEN.
From the initial brainstorm over factory sourcing and price calculation, to production management and taking care of returns: the entire process has no more secrets for her.
At DRIES VAN NOTEN she took full responsibility for the development of bags, jewels, belts and gloves. On top of that and in collaboration with the Italian factory, she overlooked the entire design, development and production process of the precious Dries Van Noten shoes.
At DRIES VAN NOTEN, Liesbet learned to work with different types of fabrics, printed leather, embroideries, very specific heels, and much more.
A lot of trial and error passed the development stage in order to create that chic, extravagant product of exquisite quality.
We must say: this high end experience of world class level lifted Liesbet’s expertise up in a way that she could no longer hide it for the rest of the fashion world.
It created the perfect cradle in which STUDIO CUOIO could be born.
