At the dawn of this season, Maison Jean Rousseau presents the new French Cottage collection, which captures the essence of autumn while gently preparing for winter.

Signature Pieces of the Collection

The French Cottage collection includes classic models like the Classic 3.5 straps. Characterized by a slightly padded shape, cut edge, and stitched design, these straps are crafted to fit vintage watches perfectly. Their size and thickness balance the watch without adding weight to the wrist. They are available in three materials: vintage-printed calfskin, alligator, and Alcantara, and come in colors reminiscent of aged patina, such as shades of brown, green, and blue.

Elegant style extends beyond the wrist with the French Cottage Collection’s range of accessories designed to complement a vintage aesthetic. This includes the practical and lightweight “Essentiel” and “Hipster” cardholders. Available in the same materials and colors as the straps, they provide a cohesive and well-matched look.

Shades and Fades: A Subtle Blend of Colors

A standout feature of this collection is the gradient effect, inspired by the artistic technique of sfumato. This technique involves applying shades of color to calfskin leather, creating a subtle gradient that evokes the transitions of autumn. Whether you choose a watch with warm or cool tones, this gradient adds a layer of visual depth.

For a classic look, the French Cottage Collection straps pair beautifully with neutral colors like gray or beige. For a more casual style, these straps and cardholders can elevate relaxed outfits, such as dark jeans and a knit sweater. This detail enhances your appearance while staying in tune with the season’s colors and textures.
