Their Collection 

The collection includes French classics like Breton stripes, slogan T-shirts and premium athleisurewear. Known for Robinson’s humour and play on words such as “made somewhere near France” and the famous “No regrets more baguettes” the brand has become loved for its loud personality. 

The logo on the Être Cécile website features the phrase presque Parisienne – almost Parisian – and the designers commented that ‘well if you can’t live in Paris it’s the next best thing’ which is what we can all resonate with. 

What does it mean? 

The brand’s name is the fictional brainchild of the designers. Cécile, an Irish-born artist living in 1960s Paris, known for his passion for animal prints and flair for fashion.
