FOREWORD
Created in 2016, Chichi Castelnango is one of the first French lingerie houses to offer sexy and refined underwear to enhance all women.
The desire to shake up the codes, to combine comfort and desirability, and to magnify each body.
Since its beginnings, the brand has grown and the rest of the story is now written alongside you with the same ambition and passion as on the first day. And above all, the conviction that it is possible to create beautiful French lingerie, delicate, accessible, which is aimed at all body types while ensuring to limit our impact through responsible production.
The beautiful story
A story, of two sisters
Chichi Castelnango was born from a bold dream, that of transforming a final-year project into a lasting and ambitious brand.
A family story carried by two sisters, Mathilde and Victoire, with complementary characters and driven by a shared passion for fashion.
A successful bet that has lasted for 9 years now and which now brings together a large family of more than 10 women who work hand in hand to continue writing the beautiful story together.
A lingerie house dreamed of and created by women, for women.
A PRECIOUS KNOW-HOW
A Parisian house
A creative workshop in the heart of Paris, a resolutely Parisian DNA, Calais lace among our most beautiful materials, Chichi Castelnango is committed to promoting French know-how.
And it was quite natural that we chose Paris as the base for our first boutique. An address in the heart of the Marais, quickly joined by several multi-brand points of sale throughout France and now Europe, to highlight our pretty Parisian house.
A thoughtful production
A deep commitment
In every thread, every lace, every embroidery our commitment is woven.
In Paris, where our creations are thought out, then under the Portuguese and Moroccan sun where they come to life.
We only select the most beautiful materials, as much as possible French and European, Oeko-Tex and GRS certified. Calais lace, swimsuits made from recycled fabrics, waterless dyes... Each choice honors our commitments.
A commitment that is also intended to be societal thanks to ethical workshops, BSCI certified where people and their working conditions are a priority.
A commitment that has driven us since the first day and will continue until the last.
INSPIRATION FROM HERE AND ELSEWHERE
A singular name
Chichi Castelnango is a family story, written over generations. Granddaughters of a traveling grandfather and a flight attendant grandmother, Mathilde and Victoire grew up traveling, lulled by the desire to follow in the footsteps of their elders.
And it was at the end of the world that the story began: in Chichicastenango, a village nestled in the mountains of Guatemala known for its market, as unique as it is fascinating. Exceptional fabrics, traditional outfits and handmade creations: this discovery was a revelation.
Add to this the fussy character of Mathilde, artistic director and co-founder of the brand, always fussy and picky who was nicknamed Mademoiselle Chichi by her grandfather, and the name Chichi Castelnango was found.
epilogue
Small pleasures of life or great follies,
Discreet charm or assumed beauty,
Sexy lingerie or stunning swimsuit,
Near the heart or on the body,
For a night or for life,
A little. A lot. Madly.
