Bonjour Gloria,
Here is the lesson that addresses this exact scenario:
"Des" becomes " de/d' " in front of adjectives preceding nouns (French Articles)">https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/use-de-d-instead-of-des-in-front-of-adjectives-preceding-nouns-partitive-article
In short, des is the contracted version of de + les .
Bonne chance.
