Chipie is a renowned French teenage fashion brand that was established in 1971 by Jean-Michel Signoles. The brand’s intriguing journey commenced near the illustrious city of Carcassonne in the South of France on December 16, 1967. A mere seventeen years old at the time, Jean-Michel Signoles founded the brand, initially offering second-hand clothing imported from the United States. It wasn’t until four years later that Chipie opened its first workshop. By the early 1970s, Chipie had firmly established itself as a prominent player in the world of jeans and youthful attire, gaining recognition and admiration for its iconic Chipie jeans label.

In 1979, Chipie expanded its line to include clothing for children, aptly named Chipie Junior. This marked a significant milestone for the brand. As Chipie grew, it ventured into new product categories. In 1985, the brand introduced a collection of “papaterie,” followed by a shoe line in 1989. Continuing its commitment to excellence, Chipie’s diverse collection also encompasses watches, luggage, glasses, pens, and luxurious leather goods.

With a desire to engage the senses and embrace the art of fragrance, Chipie ventured into the world of perfumery. In 1995, Chipie launched its first fragrance under the license of Coty France. This marked the beginning of a fragrance collection that currently consists of seven distinct perfumes. The range spans from the earliest edition introduced in 1995 to the latest addition in 1998, showcasing Chipie’s dedication to continuously captivating the olfactory senses.

Chipie stands as a testament to the visionary leadership and innovative spirit of its founder, Jean-Michel Signoles. With its rich history and expansive product offerings, Chipie has become an emblem of French fashion synonymous with quality, style, and youthful allure.
