Portrait of Jeanne

Jane founded Cecile et Jeanne with her brother Elie, she is the sole designer of the brand’s collection. Her inspiration arises from daily encounters, glimpses of scenery, and nature in its simplicity. Her work calls for experimentation with unexpected combinations of colors and materials: mixtures of metals, glass pearls, resins, leathers, coatings, and fabrics of various styles and finishes. Jane arduously seeks out the perfection of shape, volume and detail until the piece meets her satisfaction.

Jane’s diverse taste gives way to numerous collections and models that are made for women of all styles. Jane’s pieces; bright, joyous and comfortable as they are, infuse women with life and energy, and allow women to interchange them to fit their current moods and desires. With each new collection Jane wants to share her emotions and communicate her intentions. While bringing fantasy to women, Jane’s ambition is to contribute to a little bit of each woman’s happiness.

Jane picked the dove as he symbol not only because of its universal meaning but also because it embodies energy, enthusiasm and the free spirited dream that women have within.
