Biarritz – Iconic French seaside village, historical resort for European royalty, a scene brimming with surfer chic. This coastal town is as elegant as it is laid back, with California surf culture permeating this French vista. Our butterfly cats-eye draws inspiration from this merging of ideals. Taking a traditional Hollywood façade and imbuing classic European style. With its overstated form and catlike silhouette, the Biarritz is a classic style revitalised and reimagined for the modern fashion world.
