Histoire de Cinabre

Manifesto

Cinabre is leaving a party in the wee hours with your bow tie undone.

Cinabre is embroidering Britney or Zidane on silk ties.

Cinabre is Cité Bergère tranquility juxtaposed with the bustling Grands Boulevards.

Cinabre is sipping a Spicy Margarita in a velvet dressing gown.

Cinabre is a black-tie soirée, where the aristocratic extravaganza of Visconti mingles with the retro-futurism of James Bond.

Cinabre is wearing a cap with a three-piece suit or a pearl necklace with a hoodie.

Cinabre is listening to Grace Jones on a vinyl turntable.

Cinabre is a particular idea about business: Think of an accessory that hardly anyone buys anymore. Do you have one? There's a 90% chance we make it.

Cinabre is the vermillion red pigment of a mineral and the white of Parisian nights.

Cinabre is about making every occasion a grand occasion.

Cinabre Backstory

I'm Alexandre. I launched Cinabre at the age of 30 with the guiding vision of Michel Goma and the steady hand of Catherine, our atelier manager. I'm French and Swedish. I love '70s disco, Detroit techno, vintage Science Fiction, les nuits blanches in Paris, the panache of a uniform, and fashion that doesn't take itself too seriously.
