ABOUT LES BARBARES

Established in 2016, Les Barbares is a high-end French Caribbean brand with its creative studio in Miami, Florida, USA. It takes a contemporary approach to accessories by fusing art and fashion. Each accessory is based upon a piece of original artwork (a drawing or painting) by its creator and creative director, French-Caribbean Artist Marielle Plaisir. The notions of timelessness, poetry, uniqueness and elegance define the Les Barbares style. Combining Western- and Caribbean-style art and iconography, Les Barbares blends modernity with romance, old with new and simplicity with sophistication.

From these principles is born a range of well-coordinated products (silk squares, scarves, wallets, clutches, purses, key chains) that can be mixed and matched to form a vast spectrum of accessory possibilities — yet still put art and culture in a place of honor. Combining know-how (leather goods are made by craftsmen from Pierre Cardin workshops) with stunning imagery, Les Barbares combines art, fashion and leather printing.
