We offer a collection with a feminine and exclusive style you find a the French Riviera with a touch of nostalgia (retro). Retro stands for the style from the past, but with modern fabrics, models and techniques. So the collection is new and not worn before. It is the so called modern retro style. This is different from vintage. Vintage is already worn (second hand).

Retro clothing is new clothing but inspired on a certain period or era. It is actually a replica of the old items. Vintage clothing is secondhand clothing. We have almost only retro style, but also a very small collection of exclusive vintage items such as vintage Prada, Versace, Armani.
