Our creative collaborations
From the very first day of opening, Chez Dede has been a place of exchange and hospitality. For this reason Andrea and Daria have chosen to set up their creative atelier next to the showroom that receives customers daily. No degree of separation, in fact, with the intention of opening doors, heart and creativity to those who had passed by there. Over the years this list of encounters has become increasingly interesting and rich. Each of the collaborations we worked on was not born from a careful business plan but from the encounter of people we liked and who today we are honored to be able to call friends. Brilliant minds of the international scene that inspire us and give us the opportunity to explore new creative territories. As in any unforgettable journey, the beauty is not only the final destination, but also the path that lead us there.

Special edition bandanas Chez Dede x Airmail Weekly
“Les Enfants Terribles”
It was perhaps only a matter of time before AIR MAIL joined forces with Chez Dede, one of Rome’s most stylish, inimitable boutiques. And so, at last, we are delighted to present our first capsule collection, a trio of scarves, featuring sketches of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Henry Moore as children. Illustrated by Chez Dede co-owner Andrea Ferolla, an artist well known for his hand-drawn depictions of Italian glamour, the subject is an exercise in Ferolla’s own self-reflection, who recognized from an early age that he wanted to be an artist, and has often wondered if fellow artists had the same foresight about themselves. The unisex pieces were co-designed by Graydon Carter and made in Como, Italy, of 100 percent cotton. They can be worn in multiple ways: knotted around the neck, folded in the pocket of one’s jacket, or tied around the handle of an accessory.

Special edition bag Chez Dede x OKA
This new collaboration brings together two sophisticated worlds: Chez Dede’s unique French-Italian style with OKA’s British sense of whimsicality, which plays with colour and pattern.
Featuring an exclusive print designed by OKA, the ‘Grand Sac Fulham Road, SW3’ is a celebration of a mutual love of travel and exploration. Sometimes the destination is right around the corner, in your own city, and this special edition of Le Grand Sac is an ode to OKA’s iconic London flagship store.
The Grand Sac is the iconic standard-bearer of Chez Dede’s style; hand-made in Italy, the bag features a pure and refined design and is crafted using the finest Italian vegetable tanned calf leather with traditional silk screen-printed fabric. Sophisticated and stylish, but also casual and easy to wear, ‘Le Grand Sac Fulham Road, SW3’ is a bag for every occasion.
OKA is known for its love of colour and artful mix of styles, taking inspiration from ancient designs from around the world and adapting them to modern lifestyles. The exclusive print for Chez Dede was inspired by the colour palette of Imari glazed porcelain and the wave pattern is a play on a classic Japanese-themed textile.
The bag is finished with an exclusive Chez Dede x OKA leather luggage tag and features printed text in classic Chez Dede style, paying homage to OKA’s flagship showroom at Fulham Road, London SW3.
