Introducing AU DÉPART x VANS

26 June, 2025

In a rare convergence of distinct design philosophies, French luxury trunk-maker Au Départ and California-based footwear and apparel brand Vans present an exclusive Friends & Family edition of the iconic Vans Authentic.

 

Established in 1834, Au Départ is renowned for its bespoke trunks and leather goods, distinguished by its signature monogram introduced in 1910. The geometric pattern, formed by dots, stripes, and squares, draws inspiration from the hexagonal shape of France and reflects a legacy rooted in precision and heritage.

 

This monogram is reimagined across the Vans Authentic silhouette, merging two worlds: the artisanal rigor of luxury travel goods and the utility of a timeless, everyday shoe. It’s a collaboration built on contrast, not convention.

 

Available exclusively to friends and family.

A meeting of two worlds, crafted with intention, shared with discretion.
