Papillon has always been an idea in my mind. As far as I could remember, the story of a vulnerable caterpillar morphing into a butterfly – one of the most magnificent creatures, always captivated me. The idea of being vulnerable, going through a journey, and morphing into something mesmerizing appealed to me. I believe this is the story of every woman I see around me.
This belief always led me to be very comfortable in my skin. Whoever I am, however, I am, I am me! I was never a trend follower. I’d always go with something that made me feel comfortable and in control, and I loved shoes. Shoes are the only thing that has the instant power to make you feel comfortable in yourself.
Probably this is where I got this idea to start a handcrafted products brand that will enable women, empower them and help them with their journey of morphing into something spectacular. When choosing a name for my brand, I only had one obvious choice – Papillon, French for butterfly. Whenever any woman is wearing a Papillon product, she is not only wearing an excellently handcrafted article, but she is wearing a product that represents her journey. A piece of excellent artisanship that symbolizes the journey we all women are on.
The journey to morph into something spectacular!
