Minimalist. The adjective fits both the store and the clothes designed by Thomas Leandro.
The colors are neutral, on the walls as well as on the clothes.
On the racks, a few t-shirts, sweatshirts, or even caps. It must be said that Brave Couture is a young brand, like its creator. The shelves should quickly be enriched with new products straight out of the imagination of the 24-year-old Toulonnais.
“I like to break the codes”
“Right now, I’m only making basic cotton. I source it carefully so it’s both eco-friendly and sustainable.” His choice fell on a Belgian company. It is already in talks with another supplier to make denim, leather and wool. History to expand the range from the next school year. A long-term job.
Thomas manages everything from A to Z. Starting with the design of the models. He is the one who imagines the cuts, the patterns… He then receives the various blank products before having them printed in a specialized company in La Garde. A company he knows well, since it is that of his father-in-law. “I even worked there for a while. That’s what made me want to get started.” This element and especially his passion for fashion, which he cultivated from a very young age.
The style he wanted for Brave Couture can be summed up in a few words: “Urban, but chic. Making clothes that can be worn in all circumstances. I like to break the codes, I also find that it reflects the spirit of the region well”he smiles.
Mixed collections
Another, to say the least, original feature of the brand: the products can be worn by both men and women. “All cuts are worked in this direction”assures the creator.
And the customers are already responding. The shop, located a stone’s throw from rue des Arts, has seduced people. “And even if the target is more 20/35 years old, I was surprised to see that my clothes also appeal to other age groups.”
