Our iconic prints, their stories
At Petitjean Paris, every silk square, scarf, or accessory is more than just a pattern; it's a tale, a universe, an invitation to dream: a "silk tale" imagined by our designer, drawn in Paris, printed and crafted in the historical cradles of silk. In this article, let's explore some of our most emblematic prints.
The Pas de Deux Print
Le Pas de Deux, the brand's signature print.
- Inspiration and story: Le Pas de Deux tells the "wild choreography" of a fox ballet in a Jura forest — the founder's native region.
- Spirit & style: Its vibrant royal blue and the movement of the foxes running give this pattern a graphic, almost kinetic elegance, like a suspended moment in nature.
- At Petitjean Paris: Le Pas de Deux is available in all formats. A multifaceted way to (re)experience this tale, as desired.
Toile Fantastique
Toile Fantastique invites us to a dreamlike reverie, in the heart of an enchanted wood.
- Inspiration and story: This pattern evokes a "magical wood from our childhood," populated by musical rabbits, a "lion-sun king," owls distributing stars... A legendary forest where imagination reigns supreme.
- Spirit & style: The delicate watercolor, hand-drawn animals, and soft shades convey a naive and wild, almost fairy-tale poetry.
- At Petitjean Paris: Our Toile Fantastique offers its patterns in all formats... for those who love a touch of romantic fantasy in their outfit.
Enchanted Wood
Bois Enchanté draws its inspiration from an old French tale, blending a magical forest with lush nature.
- Inspiration and story: Inspired by Madame d'Aulnoy's tale La Biche au Bois, the collection evokes an enchanted forest where precious stone flowers and magical fruits coexist.
- Spirit & style: Bois Enchanté blends botanical luxuriance, magical softness, and a rich palette, an invitation to journey into an imaginary and poetic world.
- At Petitjean Paris: The pattern is featured on our squares and accessories... to add a touch of mystery and fantasy to an outfit.
Montmartre
Montmartre, this name evokes the bohemian and artistic soul of Paris — and the brand's print captures its spirit.
- Inspiration and story: The Montmartre square evokes "a stroll to the top of the hill," where Montmartre's bohemia thrived, from Cézanne to Picasso, via Chagall.
- Spirit & style: The cheerful hues and bucolic atmosphere suggest an aesthetic full of life, art, and Parisian nostalgia.
- At Petitjean Paris: Montmartre is available in all formats, for those who wish to wear a piece of bohemian Paris close to their neck.
Auteuil February
Auteuil en Février tells of a winter dream, a universe frozen in the atmosphere of a vintage botanical greenhouse.
- Inspiration and story: This pattern evokes the majestic botanical greenhouses of Auteuil in the 19th century, a winter garden populated by parakeets and crinolines.
- Spirit & style: The pastel palette evokes the freshness of a winter morning, the delicacy of plants, and the elegance of an old Paris.
- At Petitjean Paris: Available as a square, gavroche, and bracelets, it is a jewel of winter poetry.
