A fresh reinterpretation of a classic, this cotton bandana by À la Mère de Famille features the iconic orange of Paris’s oldest chocolate shop, founded in 1761. A true gourmet institution for over 260 years, the house combines heritage and craftsmanship, preserving the art of chocolate and confectionery with the utmost care in sourcing its ingredients.
The design blends tradition and creativity: a paisley pattern inspired by the house’s visual identity, enriched with decorative details drawn from its historic boutique and signature gift boxes. At the center, the crest is topped with the iconic helmet, while the edges are framed with a cement tile motif. The phrase “Les Plus Beaux Souvenirs”, the motto of GiftShop, is subtly hidden within the pattern, adding a refined touch to this keepsake.
Finished with the inscription “À la Mère de Famille” at the bottom of the fabric, this versatile piece can be worn around the neck or tied to a bag—a perfect pop of colour and charm.
