AN EXHIBITION LIKE A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME

Radio Bambino, trick bags, umbrellas, Ninon, Charlie, cigarette cases, Aviona trunks from the first airplane cargo holds, nylon suitcases for shorter, lighter trips... in 150 years, LANCEL's beautiful things are much more than a wonderful French collection. They are witnesses to our great History, unveiled for the first time with “LANCEL, Toujours”, an anniversary exhibition presented from June 4 to December 23, 2026, at 8 Place de l’Opéra, in the brand's historic boutique.

Open to all, the exhibition invites the visitor-traveler on a true odyssey starting at the bottom of the grand staircase, which has become a time machine. An exciting escape leading to the founders' original workshop, then a cabinet of curiosities where each object, a true Proust’s madeleine, catapults us into the history of our travels, which has become the history of our lives.

Our take on this event

LANCEL welcomes the public to its historic boutique at 8, Place de l’Opéra for the anniversary exhibition LANCEL, Toujours. Open from September 30 to December 23, 2026, this showcase honors 150 years of the brand with a journey through time. The display is structured as an odyssey, beginning at the foot of a grand staircase that serves as a gateway into the brand’s past.

The itinerary guides visitors through the founders' original workshop and concludes in a dedicated cabinet of curiosities. Featured pieces include historic items such as the Aviona trunk, early cigarette cases, and the evolution of luggage from nylon suitcases to modern designs. Each item serves as a window into the history of travel and the daily lives of past generations.
