Yves Bensimon
Between two planes, in a Bensimon shop: a pair of sneakers, a travel bag, a Hawaiian shirt, mocked color canvas pants and hop! you are ready for the adventure on the other side of the earth.
The cheerful and colorful world of the house Bensimon has made its mark at 2014 TFWA WE to showcase its collections. From the colorful luggage (chic and feminine), the shoulder bags (practical and light), the accessories (braided belts), to tennis shoes (from fluorescent yellow to sweet pink) to brighten your grayer days. But also, handy for travelling: toilet bags – with a small hook, very useful in your hotel bathroom – and its 1993 and 2005 Colognes, its fragrance Gallery S. Bensimon…
Addicted To Love
Adorned with all these accessories, you will be the perfect Bensimon woman, ready for adventure with a capital A around the world, and when you return, your travel history will be easy to tell, since have lived after your own staging.
A pair of tennis shoes for the road!
Everyone knows the name of Bensimon, through its military surplus and the pair of tennis that is with us for 30 years in France but also in the world, including the United States. The Americans brought them back by the dozen in their suitcases as they would have done a contraband! But the presence of Bensimon abroad is not new.
Bensimon worldwide
In thirty years, the two brothers opened forty boutiques and concept stores around the world: in Belgium, Berlin, Seoul in the first quarter of 2015. Since several years, Bensimon is distributed in department stores in Asia (Japan, Korea and Taiwan), the United States in multi-brand stores and in Europe as well as online.
Travel Retail Shops
Since seven years, the brand is present in Duty Free shops at international airports in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Venice, Glasgow, Roissy, Orly, Nice… This presence, generating 25% of its business outside France, gives the brand more international exposure. In the near future, the market will represent a large potential for growth, particularly with a project to install boutiques of the brand in several international airport.
A traveler without borders
Serge Bensimon, the creative and Yves, the brand manager, have evolved over a few years from military surplus to fashion, from decoration to Art, from Art to literature, always with the the travel as conductive line and a certain idea of a lifestyle in which color, elegance and joy mingle…
The Bensimon brothers opened their first boutique in the Marais, in Paris, rue des Francs Bourgeois. Inspired by the world of travel, the brand collections become Autour du Monde (Around the World). Immediately, other shops emerge, including Home Autour du Monde, some lines of both ready-to-wear and decorative objects. The style: a mixture of genders and colors, in a casual chic and feminine spirit, which emphasizes color and beautiful fabrics. A fashion always declined with great passion for teenagers, fans of the tennis shoe, through the B.TEAM line, like a mixed cloakroom.
