Street cred and high-quality, made-in-France stitching and skins have pushed Florian Denicourt – who made his début designing accessories for Vanessa Bruno – from the carefully edited offerings of Maison Jean-Baptiste to the spotlit shelves of fashion emporiums like Le Bon Marché and the massively upscaled Printemps Haussmann. Denincourt’s first boutique in the Northern Marais stocks some great examples of the best new developments in men’s accessories. Not that girlfriends are left out: the store offers Denicourt’s androgynous takes on classic cargo, Kelly, and saddle bags too, plus there’s some shoes and a few leather jackets for him and her. You have to be close to the pieces to appreciate their quality: the slightly sullen sag of perforated suede and patent and the chromed zippers that seem ripped off rock leathers (masculinity – like the devil – is in the details).
