When chic French ready-to-wear settles in Bordeaux

In recent years, a new generation of French ready-to-wear brands has emerged, breathing new life into our "French chic". More than just fashion labels, they embody a Parisian way of life, inspiring and creative, with a style that is both chic and relaxed, driven by responsible commitments and an authentic spirit. Focus on three brands that have recently opened in the heart of Bordeaux.

Sézane & Octobre Éditions: pioneers of contemporary elegance

📍 Address: 1 Place Puy Paulin, 33000 Bordeaux
🕒 Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm
🌐 Website: sezane.com / Instagram: @sezane

A success story born online

Founded in 2013 by Morgane Sézalory, Sézane was one of the first 100% digital French fashion brands. It quickly became one of the flagship brands of French ready-to-wear, driven by a timeless aesthetic, a strong eco-responsible commitment, and a modern vision of fashion.

A unique concept: the Apartment

Sézane reinvented the boutique by transforming it into a living space and opened its "Apartments" in several major cities. The Bordeaux apartment, located on Place Puy-Paulin, offers an immersive experience combining fashion, lifestyle, and conviviality, just steps away from the prestigious Triangle d'Or.

Balzac Paris: sustainable elegance

📍 Address: 18 cours de l'Intendance, 33000 Bordeaux
🕒 Opening hours: Monday to Saturday: 11am – 8pm
🌐 Website: balzac-paris.fr / Instagram: @balzacparis

A friendly and family adventure

The Balzac adventure began in 2014. Chrysoline de Gastines, her husband Victorien, and their friend Charles Fourmaux decided to embark on a joint entrepreneurial venture. Within a few years, Balzac Paris became one of the references in French slow fashion, attracting a loyal community seeking meaning and transparency.

A responsible and transparent concept

With its signature approach "Always More Responsible" (TPR), Balzac Paris places commitment at the heart of its strategy. Each collection is designed with environmentally friendly materials, organic cotton, European linen, Tencel, recycled fibers, and produced in a thoughtful manner.

Maison Stella & Suzie: creative, free, feminine

📍 Address: Place Puy Paulin, 33000 Bordeaux
🕒 Opening hours: Monday to Saturday: 10am – 7pm
🌐 Website: stellasuzie.com / Instagram: @maisonstellaetsuzie

An adventure born on Instagram

Created in 2017 by Margaux Minguez-Lahana, the brand started as a concept store. Very quickly, it unveiled its first collection at the end of 2019, and Maison Stella & Suzie became a reference in bohemian and contemporary wardrobe.

A bohemian-chic and feminine style

Stella & Suzie's aesthetic combines flowing dresses with exclusive prints and romantic blouses. The universe blends a bohemian-chic spirit with confident femininity. The pieces are designed to be both unique and easy to wear, a philosophy that is also found in the highly appreciated "village" atmosphere of Chartrons.
