June 2000, we are sipping a cocktail on a beach in Boulouris...the sunset, the sea, the rocks as the only view! We are two friends in the south of France...The waiters who take care of our table are all dressed differently, no harmony, no visual identity... We say to ourselves "too bad for such a beautiful establishment"...the idea is born!

We then start a line of work clothes from traditional fabrics such as canvas, denim, velvet, leather...which we will decline in many colors according to our inspirations and fashion trends. Over time, these colors and materials lead us to develop a range of accessories that follows the same dynamic as professional clothing: utility, resistance, efficiency of shapes, comfort of materials, beauty of colors...

This is how a line of mixed bags for travel, sports, the beach..., our famous hats with their famous double leather, paper or felt tie and our ultra-comfortable colored moccasins are born.

Globe trotter or homebody, Travaux en Cours follows you everywhere...
