Brigitte Tanaka isn’t the adventurer of the latest action series. In fact, it’s a brand, and today it opens its doors to us. Found in the heart of Paris’ Eglise Saint-Roch this treasure chest boutique is the work of Mademoiselle Brigitte and Mademoiselle Tanaka, as they like to call themselves. Two sparkling friends who’s intuition lead them back to a place that was built on the very same day that Brigitte was born. Coincidence? We don’t think so. But in any case, they simply couldn’t have found a better spot. The location itself symbolises the marriage of two cultures – their own cultures from France and Japan – embodying two styles as well as two eras. At the meeting point of classic and contemporary, they navigate the two as if it were no effort at all. Here you’ll discover the treasures of artisans, which have been carefully selected by Brigitte, with her ‘fiery’ energy, and Tanaka, her ‘aquatic’ counterpart. Their universe is divided into three: the collaborations, the selection process, and the creation. Everyday objects from the 20th century: Almanac, cufflinks, and medallions are given a second life in front of your eyes as they’re embossed and personalised in the workshop. The circle is complete. We simply cannot get enough of the antiques, elegant fashion accessories, stationary and plants in the droguerie du bon goût that is Brigitte Tanaka.
Brigitte Tanaka, 18 rue Saint-Roch – 75001 Paris.
