Letter from the Creative Director

Bonne Année‍

‍Bienvenue to a new year of French-inspired style! I’m so excited to share some of the latest prints, designs, and destinations that we have planned for 2024, including our first collection of the year inspired by the vibrant floral landscape of the French Alps in the height of summer.

L’été dans les Alps showcases refreshing designs in a mélange of delicate and tailored silhouettes. Bold flowers, painterly prints, and subtle stripes mingle with laid-back, luxury pieces that can be dressed up or down for any summer occasion. 

I hope you love this collection as much as we loved creating it for you!


‍Bisous, 

Relaxed, Refined
