Letter from The Creative Director

Bonjour!
I’m thrilled to be sharing our St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat collection with you in this week’s L’Èdition. This  charming town represents the French Riviera in all of its beauty— and our latest range does it’s  best to capture that. 

As we welcome the return of Spring, our newest offering celebrates eye-catching emeralds, which look gorgeous with our hero Saint Jean print. Timeless polka dots and elegant inks feature, pared back with crisp cottons and natural French linens for those warmer days ahead.

And for a little travel inspiration I share my favourite places to visit in Cap-Ferrat, an absolute must-visit village if you get the chance!

Avec amour,

An insiders guide to

With founder and creative director Donna Guest

Grand Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat. Ultra luxurious, this hotel captures the timeless glamour of the Côte d’Azur. Over the years its rooms have been graced by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Winston Churchill, and Picasso.

Hôtel Brise Marine is an easy-going 1878 Italianate villa, offering simple and sunny rooms with enchanting sea views. After enjoying breakfast on the rose-twined terrace, why not head straight to the beach? It’s only 150m away!

Le Cap is Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat’s Michelin-starred restaurant and crafts some of the best best food in the entire region. Pair the delicious cuisine with one of the restaurants 600 wine options!

Restaurant Captaine Cook, run by husband and wife team Lionel and Nelly Pelletier, is possibly the peninsula’s most favoured eatery. In summer, I love lunching on the green and leafy terrace— it’s so perfect.

Paloma Beach is perhaps one of the best beaches on the Côte d’Azur. Offering unparalleled  views of the Beaulieu-sur-Mer, this gorgeous bathing spot is nestled in a quiet cove with turquoise  waters. This place gets busy, so be sure to reserve a lounge in advance! 

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, considered the jewel of the Côte d’Azur, is a Belle Epoch French  seaside villa constructed between 1905-1912 by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild. During my visit  here I felt completely transported to another world. Highly recommend!

Forever-chic

In the words of Marc Jacobs, ‘There’s never a wrong time for a polka dot’. And we’d have to agree. Graceful and timeless, this 100% French Linen blouse makes dressing elegant oh-so-easy. Pair it with our Bengajean® 3/4 Slim Leg, for beautiful style.
