Suzanne Belperron

In Part 2 of our sixth season - Golden Girls - we go on another jaunt to Paris (yep that's two weeks in a row!) to find out all we can about the life of the incredible French designer Suzanne Belperron. The life of Suzanne Belperron really does read like a Hollywood movie with secret love affairs, war, scandal, intrigue, mystery and heroism galore! After a very quick pit stop at a shop window (typical) we make our way to meet Olivier Baroin, who is the world expert on the work of Suzanne Belperron, bar none. Olivier talks with us at length about his love for Belperron's work, how he can identify her (famously unsigned) pieces and finding her archive in 2008. He also shares some unbelievable real life stories about the larger than life jewellery legend that is Suzanne Belperron. www.courtville.ie A Tape Deck podcast.
