Each of these was carried back from a brocante along the coast. There is only one of each, and once it goes it is gone. How we hunt them.

Vintage, one of each

The vintage rail is being photographed. Bags, shoes and a few pieces of clothing, each one only once. Tell us what you are hunting for and we will write when it lands.

On the shelf, in the apartment

Hand sewn in Cannes · take one home
A glass bowl of silk and cashmere chouchous on the bookshelf in the apartment

The bowl lives on the middle shelf, beside the books.

The Riviera Séjour chouchou card and its story card, framed on the shelf

There is a bowl of chouchous on the bookshelf in the sitting room. They are not decoration. Everything in it is for sale, sewn by hand here in Cannes from upcycled silk or cashmere, each one cut from a different length of cloth, so no two are quite the same and none is made twice.

Take the one you like. Scan the card beside the bowl, or leave us a note, and it goes on your stay at the price above. Nothing to carry home in a bag, and nothing to settle at the door.

How it works

Everything here is one of a kind. To buy or ask about a piece, start a conversation and we will arrange payment and either post it or leave it for you at the apartment.
