Red-brown Bougainvillea Pareo

The bougainvillea is the flower of southern facades, bright and generous, spilling over walls in summer. This pareo red and brown makes it the subject, in a warm, earthy palette that sets off a tan and speaks of holidays in the sun.

Each piece is hand block-printed on light cotton, in the artisan workshops of our partners in India, where the craft is handed down through generations. Every impression carries the small variations of the gesture, the mark of a genuinely handmade textile rather than an industrial print. The design is created in France.

Its fabric makes all the difference. The cotton is fine, fluid and soft against the skin, it dries quickly after a swim and folds down small in a beach bag. Tie it at the waist over a swimsuit, over the shoulders against the sun, or as a wrap dress for dinner on the terrace.

The red and brown work with a plain swimsuit, natural straw and leather sandals. It is a warm piece that carries the tan and the atmosphere of the holidays.

Beyond the beach, this pareo red and brown becomes a large scarf, a light throw over a sun lounger, or a shawl for cooler evenings. One piece carries the whole day, from the morning swim to the evening meal, without ever weighing down the bag. It also makes an easy gift for anyone heading somewhere sunny.

Worn on its own with a plain swimsuit, it holds the warm glow of late summer.

Machine washable at thirty degrees, it softens over time without losing its colour. On a cooler evening, it doubles as a light shawl over the shoulders.

An artisanal, light and warm summer piece, for those who love southern flowers and easy-to-wear outfits.
