It was on the occasion of two major launches last year – La vie est belle by Lancôme and La petite robe noire by Guerlain – in which they participated, that these two companies met and decided to share their expertise to develop a new decoration technology.

Thanks to the DuPont Surlyn® 3D technology (3D standing for “Design, Decoration and Depth”) and the work of Oriol & Fontanel in the field of adhesive gluing, an innovative textile encapsulation technique was born: “DuPont Surlyn ® 3D textile”. The process involves over-moulding the perfectly transparent Surlyn ® resin on a container dressed with textile.

This unique and original procedure offers the considerable advantage of being able to sublimate and protect textile decoration, which is perfectly resistant to the moulding process by injection without being altered in any way. In doing so, it provides an inexhaustible source of inspirational ideas for the perfume and cosmetics community, in particular using materials such as:

• Lace
• Jean
• Woven jacquard
• Strass
• Fiber material
• Glitters
• Printed ribbons (screenprinting, digital printing) & fabrics
• And more potential materials to be tested with our partners
