Qeelin

The Chinese Qeelin brand at Place Vendôme

///




Qeelin, a Chinese brand owned by the Kering group, opens its first showcase on Place Vendôme ♦ ︎

A Chinese jewelery company in the Olympus of high jewelry? Yes, Qeelin opened its showcase on the prestigious Place Vendôme in Paris. Not everyone in Europe knows Qeelin. And it is true that he is Chinese, but not only. It was born in China, in fact, because it was founded in 2004 by Dennis Chan and Guillaume Brochard. And it is based in Hong Kong, but in 2013 it was bought by the French luxury group Kering, which already owns brands like Boucheron, Pomellato, Dodo, as well as those of fashion.

Qeelin’s jewels often use mystical symbols or lucky charms that are part of Chinese culture, with the philosophy «East meets the West». The name Qeelin, for example, derives from Qilin, the name of a fantastic Chinese animal and an icon of love. The Chinese Maison opened its first store in Taiwan in 2009 and in Shanghai in 2010. Then, in 2015, the landing in the United States, initially to satisfy Chinese residents in North America. The opening in Place Vandôme, in short, represents a surprising goal, even if the brand had already opened a boutique at the Jardin du Palais Royal. One of the flagship collections is dedicated to Wulu, a magical symbol linked to many legends, lucky charm and positive energy in China, with a shape that echoes the curves of the number 8.

Qeelin to the conquest of the United States




The style of Qeelin, the brand founded by the Chinese designer Dennis Chan. Here is the new Wulu collection, linked to many legends: it is the strongest expression of good luck and positive energy in China ♦︎

“I grew up in Hong Kong and spent some time in London. I started as a design consultant. I myself love collect watches and jewelry”. This is how describes himself Dennis Chan, designer who now arrives in the United States, where it is already a popular name in a small number of connoisseurs. “In the early nineties I started to think on how I could get into the business of luxury with my brand,” added Chan. The result of thought, in 2004, is Qeelin. Subject: Chinese style in modern way. The designer tells us to be fascinated by the old 5,000-year history of China. A story is also that of art and design. And so the Chan jewels have landed in the West.

Kering, big French luxury group, which owns brands such as Bottega Veneta, Girard-Perregaux, Gucci and Pomellato, bought a majority stake in Qeelin in 2013. Thanks to this support now the jeweler’s designs are able to land in the US. Her jewels are making a long roadshow through large jewelers to be better known to a wider American audience. The jewels of Chan will convince the Americans how they fascinated the French? Federico Graglia
