Design Story & Inspiration
“We wanted color blocking that feels mid-century but still calm in a bathroom.”
—Léa Marchand, Creative Director, Bonsoirs
Key points
- Chevron print echoes 1960s tile but uses muted earth tones.
- Ivory bag links to the robe’s collar, so the set looks intentional when hung together.
- Lining color matches the robe’s lightest stripe to avoid visual clash when the bag is open.
Brand in one breath: Bonsoirs started with linen bedding in 2018 and now focuses on small daily luxuries.

Why silk weight matters
19 mm feels light; 22 mm drapes and lasts longer. The robe uses the heavier grade.
