Manifesto 71bis
Create clothes like composing a poem, Wear pieces like asserting a part of oneself.
71bis is an independent brand founded by Élise, where each garment is designed as a tool for expression.
Clever , lively , modular pieces - which complete a wardrobe that is already unique, by awakening what is often lacking: audacity.
Several attempts, as many readjustments, a constant search for the right detail.
A deep, artisanal work, made of patience and intuition.
Fabrics are chosen for what they tell . Often eco-responsible, sometimes from dormant stocks, they are selected for their quality , their texture , their vibration. Reverse plumetis, unexpected colors, patterns chosen as one chooses an emotion.
The making itself is written by several hands.
First in the Cognac workshop , then with independent seamstresses, human-sized European workshops or exceptional artisans with the EPV label.
Always with the same common thread: respect for know-how, the beauty of time spent, the sincerity of work well done.
71bis is also a way to meet you.
On the site , where permanent and ephemeral interact.
In independent stores that trust us.
And during real moments: pop-ups, confidential sales, or home meetings between curious and enthusiastic women.
And because every detail counts, orders are prepared with care:
A reusable cotton gauze pouch, a handmade tampon, a sachet of soap shavings slipped between two fabrics— a discreet scent that leaves a trail.
