COLETTE'S FIG
The Temple of Fashion
In the 1990s, the “Colette” boutique, located on rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, became an icon of fashion and design.
Led by Colette Rousseaux, it stood out for its avant-garde selections and its collaborations with the most innovative designers, attracting an international clientele.
The success of “Colette” was accentuated by the unique atmosphere of the shop, imbued with a captivating scent of fig tree. One could smell the aroma of the ripe fruit, the bark of the tree and the foliage, creating a distinct and memorable ambiance.
La Figue de Colette pays tribute to this unparalleled success.
By capturing the essence of the fig tree in all its forms, it evokes the magic of a store whose closure left a great void, after having launched the greatest international designers in France and Europe.
