Fashion, jewelry and lifestyle. The temporary showroom set up for the 2019 Fuorisalone in via Ventura 2 in the Lambrate Design District will show a different and unexpected side of Sweden, colorful and playful, far from what is traditionally associated with Scandinavian design.

With passion for up cycling and sustainable design processes, we transform carefully selected high quality fabrics and vintage scarves into pleated, unique and timeless luxury accessories. The pleating process is one of thorough craftsmanship. The machines and paper moulds used are hundreds of years old and require a lot of manual labour. The know-how of the craftsmen working with the van Deurs’s products guarantees the perfection of your unique pieces of pleated garment. Pleated fashion since 1992. Susanne Beskow / award winning founder of van Deurs, as a graduate from renowned beckman’s college of Design, Susanne received the prestigious H&M Scholarship with her graduation collection – pleated, of course. Since then, the van Deurs’s label has been true to pleat, popping up at fashion weeks and exhitions in places like Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong and New York as well as in her home town Stockholm.
