Létrange Expands into Fine Jewelry, High Line Art Unveils 2026 Commissions, PARKSEOBO MUSEUM Opens in Seoul

Next month, Létrange, a leather brand from Paris that started in 1838 and is led by Sebastien Létrange, will launch its second collection of fine jewelry. The brand rose to prominence with the Empreinte bag, which has a handle inspired by Brancusi, thanks to artistic director Mathias Jaquemet. In late 2025, they released bracelets and ear cuffs based on this bag, which sold incredibly well. The new collection draws inspiration from Brazil's varied landscapes. In other developments, the PARKSEOBO MUSEUM has opened in Seoul, featuring designs by Choi Moongyu, with its inaugural exhibit displaying works by Park Seo-Bo and Huong Dodinh. High Line Art's fall 2026 season will showcase new pieces from Marianna Simnett, Amol K. Patil, Alvaro Barrington, and a billboard by Christopher Williams. The Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture will celebrate its 10th anniversary with The Reunion festival from September 24–27. Lastly, the Helsinki Biennial is scheduled for June 6 to September 19, 2027, under the theme “Unknowns.”
