Each garment has been designed to be interchangeable and it is natural to imagine seeing it worn not only on the streets of Paris but around the world. “Getting dressed is a bit like traveling,” said Lemaire. “You get dressed, go to someone, or have a destination in mind”. And the collection was designed exactly like this, to be suitable for any occasion and make anyone who wears it ready for any new adventure.
With an original design, with a Parisian allure, the Lemaire brand has signed the Croissant bag, giving way to a new way of wearing cross body bags.
