The Creative Director

This collection is inspired by modern classics, as an ode to France’s national holiday. We’ve got bright rouge reds to pair back with statement white pieces for both casual and evening wear. Featuring bold animal prints in noir et blanc tones, this is a Bastille collection with a modern feel. Effortlessly shuffle the items from this range and highlight them with a statement jacket or accessory for maximum style.

Vive la France!

Bisous,

le détail

Animal print has made a big return in 2021 and we’ve got two kinds in this collection. Our main print is an abstract animal design in a classic black and white, as featured on our Animal Scoop Hem Knit. This same print is available on our Contrast Hem Top, and the Swing Dress, in a super subtle black and nude.

Bleu ou
Noir

Our Animal Contrast Top is ideal for winter layering. Easily elevating a casual look in seconds, the bold animal tones work with chic monochrome. Pair it with our new special occasion Bengaline Pant and Suede Buckle Loafers and you’ve got a smart outfit with a touch of fun.

Rêver
de futur

The Domaine des Etangs is a sprawling chateau located in the French countryside just a few hours south of Paris. An eleventh-century castle known for its seven lakes or ‘étangs’, it exists upon 2500 acres and features 7 guest rooms, a Michelin-star restaurant, and a spa that’s second to none.

In the living room, Victorian family portraits hang alongside artwork by the likes of Picasso. The décor is dotted with dragonflies, the Domaine des Etangs emblem, in forms ranging from large hand-crafted artefacts to dainty napkin-holders. Guests are encouraged to lounge by the fireplace on exquisite furniture, or perhaps by the pool where doors open into gardens alive with flowers and butterflies.

The restaurant serves delicate vegetables from the organic kitchen garden (where over 140 plants and vegetables are grown), with fruit from the woods and orchards. For the future moments when travel is more than a dream, this chateau is a perfect destination to connect to nature albeit in the most refined of ways.

Bonne fête Nationale

Our Button Detail Jumper returns in rouge red, with champagne-gold buttons and a wide boat neck. Crafted from 100% cotton, it has a comfortable, lightweight feel while still being cosy enough for a winter layer. Pair it with our Bastille neckerchief, tying it around the neck for a European look with a nautical edge.

La Mode Française

Coco Chanel famously said that whenever she leaves the house she looks in the mirror and takes something off.  Classic French styling is effortless and breezy, and never overdoes it. Our new Tweed Feather Cardigan is the ideal winter cardigan, soft and stylish with a slightly heavier feel for added warmth. It’s perfect for wearing over simple French tones in blue, black and white – with a statement red piece to make it pop.

Éclat de couleur

For instant lift, add a bright colour that bursts against monochrome tones. Our new Pense Rose Scarf is made from 100% organic cotton, in a luxurious magenta tone. The perfect offset to our animal print, you can also wear the scarf back with the red tones in the collection for a vibrant clash of colour.

Empreinte
d’Animal

Our second animal print is a more subtle white and grey on black. We’re very excited to showcase the new Bengajean® Animal Straight Leg – for something bold offset the print with neutral tones like our white Pintuck Shirt or Bengaline Pant. For a more casual look team it with the new Sylvie Contrast Sneaker and our rouge Reversible Trench.
