Apparel & Fashion - Paris, Île-de-France, France
Monsieur Lacenaire is a premium menswear brand based in Paris since 2011, offering playful apparel for the modern gentleman on the go. In 2011, after several years cultivating her craft in the art of knitwear at Balmain, Kenzo and Hermès, Garance Broca decided to launch her own designer brand for men, infusing her collections with know-how, unique details, humour and refinement. The brand owes its inspiration to Pierre-Francois Lacenaire, a 19th century legendary bourgeois romantic criminal whose cultivated mind and deadpan sense of humour is at the soul of each collection.Monsieur Lacenaire ensures the uncompromising use of quality fabrics such as 100% Peruvian superfine alpaca wool, Italian merino, British twill or Japanese cotton. The brand's playful character is evident in each aspect of each collection, whether it comes in the form of an invitation to a Monsieur Lacenaire video game or a unique narrative sewn into a warm knit. Ever since its first collection, Monsieur Lacenaire has found its place in renowned stores around the world such as Colette and Le Bon Marché in Paris, Soto in Berlin, Carson Street Clothiers in New York, and Beams, Isetan and Edifice in Japan.In 2014, Monsieur Lacenaire opened its first store in the heart of the Marais, 57 rue Charlot, in Paris.
