Monsieur Bijoux
Hello, I am Nicolas, fifty years old, passionate about fashion and style, I was influenced from childhood by my mother, my aunts and their friends, big consumers of fashion in the years
70 and 80.
From that time, I keep engraved their main maxim: the good
accessories can transform any outfit!
I have always been fascinated by the way Yves Saint Laurent and Coco Chanel, for example, could enhance a little black dress or a white blouse with the right jewelry.
I had a career in fashion, more than 30 years in management of
accessories for major luxury and fashion brands (Thierry Mugler, Pierre Hardy, Levi's, etc.). More specialized in leather goods, but also responsible for the shoe, eyewear, underwear, and costume and precious jewelry collections, for which I have always had a particular attraction.
Like many, the lockdown made me review my priorities and I decided to start my own business selling vintage jewelry and creating upcycled jewelry.
We are all aware of the need to protect the planet and consume more responsibly. However, all brands, without exception, and even the "greenest" ones, continue to produce new products at a frantic pace... Why? There are so many products
that only ask to be repaired, transformed, recycled, upcycled. I set myself an ultimate goal of Zero Industrial Production.
Monsieur Bijoux is a brand that breathes new life into vintage jewelry by creating unique pieces and very limited series. I like jewelry that tells a story, that allows me to imagine its previous owner and the next one that I will touch with my choices or my creations.
The vintage part of my collection is the result of precise choices, combining the beauty and quality of the pieces and their proper integration into current trends.
My brand bridges the gap between past and present by transforming
finds at second-hand stores or flea markets into new objects of desire. All my upcycled jewelry is made from second-hand jewelry, broken jewelry, pearls and stones abandoned at the bottom of a drawer or
from an old jewelry box, with which I will play carefully to offer you unique and original pieces.
Buy as little new as possible and upcycle the old: that's my
philosophy. Do you agree?
I firmly believe in the three values of Made in France, quality and eco-responsibility.
Vintage products are always chosen with the greatest care. Vintage products from major brands come without exception from auctions under the supervision of qualified experts, which guarantees their authenticity.
Upcycled products are made up of old elements. However, the earring hooks and the majority of the clasps are new (unless specified in the description) for reasons of hygiene and allergy risks.
Finally, the packaging used for Monsieur Bijoux products is sustainable, FSC® certified packaging for jewelry, made from 100% recycled materials.
I can now dedicate myself to
the search, selection, purchase, catalog and highlight of fantastic pieces of jewelry that will brighten your life as they do for mine. I always buy only one piece of each, so do not hesitate too long before acquiring the one you like because it could disappear very quickly! Thank you for your visit and happy shopping!
Nicolas
