About Jamin Puech:
In 1989, Isabelle Puech and Benoit Jamin were studying fashion design in Paris while creating costumes for theatres and the Opera. This led them to design their first eclectic and unclassifiable bags including elements of far away cultures, perhaps a legacy of Isabelle Puech's childhood spent sailing the world with her parents from Africa to Polynesian islands.
That year they presented their creations to the International Fashion and Photography Festival (Hyères, Côte d'Azur), the most prestigious competition for young creators which revealed the likes of Viktor & Rolf or Felipe Oliveira Baptista. They won the first prize and Bergdorf Goodman bought all the collection.
They would subsequently design bags for Chanel, Balmain, and Chloé before launching Jamin Puech in 1992 and soon after opening a first boutique-atelier in Paris.
Today Jamin Puech still walks the less travelled roads of creation producing twice a year over sixty new colourful, surprising and impeccably made new designs.
