From Paris…
Amélie Pichard and Exemplaire, two names, two worlds, one thing in common: talent. Recently awarded the “Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris,” Amélie Pichard is among the new designers to watch. Her unique, retro style is packed with various influences including David Lynch’s film heroines, French new wave films of the 60s, and the frivolous young women in Guy Bourdin’s photos.
Jean-Victor Meyers and Louis Leboiteux are only 27 years old, but already display a very mature sense of style. With Exemplaire, they’ve cultivated their menswear look with a collection of chic but relaxed cashmere. Now they’re presenting, in pre-release at colette, their first line of small leather goods and travel kits, combining exceptional leather and alligator with ultra matte finishes.

The Japanese brand that takes care of our nails and cuticles has created, along with Nigo (founder of Bape) a scented oil for men. Wear it on your belt in a tube, like an outdoor sports accessory. It also comes in colette blue.

A l’ouest toute!!
Donemat (Which means ‘welcome’ in Breton) to Noël, the Brittany shoe manufacturers who launched in the 80s. Now they’re re-launching their most popular models with a revamped design while preserving their traditional, Brittany-based production methods. And to eat up, the Trinitaine’s biscuits! Exclusively at colette.
And as colette loves so much the west, that’s the perfect occasion to celebrate our 16 years with a limited edition Saint-James t-shirt from Normandy : super collector !
