Jolies Pièces the designer fashion magazine
Jolies Pièces is the magazine of independent fashion designers. Ready-to-wear, jewelry, shoes, bags and concept stores. We look at how a piece is made, what it is worth and where to find it, with every fact sourced and dated.

Inspired bythe designers
Jolies Pièces started from a simple conviction. A beautiful piece is recognized by the way it is made, not by the noise around it. We write about designers, their workshops and their materials, and about the stores that know how to select them.
Every story answers a real question, the kind you ask before buying a dress, a ring or a pair of shoes. Facts are checked at the source, update dates are shown, and our selections name every serious option.
