About Alaïa
Alaïa is the Paris house of the Tunisian-born couturier Azzedine Alaïa, who became known for clothes cut close to the body and for exceptional construction.
Its leather goods share that sculptural approach, with cut-out leather and strong, simple shapes. Check the leather surface, the edges and any cut-out work. Each listing states the condition grade and what comes with the piece.

Questions
Alaïa Answered
What does 'Le Teckel' mean?
Teckel is the French word for a dachshund. The Le Teckel bag is named for its long, low shape.
How does Luxury Club authenticate Alaïa pieces?
Every piece is physically inspected by our specialists before it is listed: construction, hardware, materials and markings are checked against what is expected of the maker and the era. Nothing is approved from photographs alone, and every sale includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting what was verified on that specific piece.
