And a return to the present with the colette nuggets who provide unique insight into the sound archive of the colette musical universe.

Mark McNairy
The new dandies swear by him. Based in the United States, this designer has his shoes handmade in England where the expertise is among the best in the world. Each of these models has a unique feature, sole color, stitching, bi-materials… His talent has already stirred the curiosity of many brands with which he signed several collaborations including Pro-Keds.

Glace Rare Iceberg
The water that is the most pure, the most rare, the oldest on our planet (more than 10, 000 years), Glace! It has never touched the ground and came to being during the Ice Age, over 10,000 years ago! Available in very small quantities because the “iceberg gathering” is very risky, and can only be done for a few months a year in northern Canada. A hidden treasure for over 10, 000 years: Experience Glace “Rare Iceberg Water”.

Francis Kurkdjian x colette
colette is 14 years old the first day of spring, and celebrates its first steps into adolescence with some flashbacks! An almost dreamlike return to childhood, for those who have kept the soul, with bulles d’Agathe from Francis Kurkdjian, a real olfactory toy with fig, inspired by the fetish odor of 213 rue Saint-Honore, and available in limited edition.

Thierry Lasry
Almost two years after their first collaboration, the sunglasses designer Thierry Lasry, the artist Thomas Lelu and the band Liquid Architecture are back with a new pair of glasses: the Liquid 2, which re-uses the idea of paint stains on the outer parts of the glasses. Also Thierry Lasry gives us two exclusive models, Variety & Excity. The first revisits small round retro glasses, giving them a boost and new elegance, the second is achieved through the coating of 3 different thicknesses of colored lace around 5 plates of acetate crystal. Mini lace in the style of lingerie & fluorescent colors too!
