Twenty years ago, an ultra-lightweight coated fabric made its debut at JACK GOMME.
Since then, LIGHT has continued to evolve and reinvent itself, without ever losing its lightness. A look back at twenty years of a material that has become a signature.
SIGNATURE MATERIAL
In 2006, the duo Sophie Rénier and Paul Droulers discovered an ultra-lightweight coated fabric. Initially matte, it wrinkles, transforms, and becomes opaque again when exposed to heat.
Then light comes into play. Metallic, iridescent, shimmering: the material reveals a new dimension and gives the designs an urban, contemporary look.
Twenty years after its creation, the LIGHT fabric has become an icon.

FROM LUGGAGE TO EVERYDAY LIFE
A line called “Bagage Light,” featuring a graphic and arty design conceived by Marc Borgers, and its first model: the 48h WEEK bag.
The bag is packaged folded inside its zippered pouch. Once unfolded, its crumpled look already gives it a rugged, adventurous feel.
Today, LIGHT extends beyond travel and becomes part of every moment of daily life.
It’s a philosophy of use: designing bags that move with you rather than restricting your movement.
