History

Vanessa Bruno founded her namesake label in Paris in 1996. The brand gained international recognition following the 1998 introduction of the Cabas tote, a canvas bag embellished with sequins. This item became a significant cultural marker of late-1990s and early-2000s French style. Historically, the label contributed to the definition of the effortless Parisian look, bridging the gap between high-end couture and accessible ready-to-wear through its focus on textile quality and relaxed tailoring.
