The Bijoux Racing Collection
Bijoux Racing consisted of two separate collections.
The main collection, Pret a Porte or ready to wear was made using original propriatory parts from the Formula One car but these parts have not been raced yet, allowing for pieces to be produced in some type of quantity.
While the Haute Couture range is bespoke, using parts that have come off the Formula One cars of both drivers from all of the races in the season.
These are one-off pieces or limited series due to the scarcity of the parts taken off at each race with the added benefit of having all of the technical information of the part used. Along with a certificate of authenticity stating which race it came from and which driver was at the wheel at the time.
Those pieces are made to order and allow much more creativity with the materials used in conjunction with each original Formula One part.
Past designs have consisted of platinum, white gold, silver, diamonds, sapphires or semi precious stones. All of course depending on the budget of the client.
We call this Creative Recycling because these designs use parts that would otherwise get scrapped or go unused.
The partnership with the teams, allows profits to go back to them during the season, helping recoup funds that were previously spent on developing these parts.
Since this concept has been gathering momentum, Racer X Designs is being commissioned to design other bespoke items using bigger pieces of Formula One parts to make things such as home accessories and artwork.
We are always open to new ways of looking at repurposing and welcome inquiries for design commissions for special pieces. Striving to give you something totally unique.
