Far from the technical allure of usual outdoor accessories, Bivouac is a collection of poetical and dream-like sportswear. 

Inspired by the campsite Camille Combremont goes to every summer, she aims to reinterpret the memories that this special place holds and to grasp the atmosphere of it through a collection of outdoor accessories. 

Imagined like a dream come true, the collection reinvents the classic camping essentials. Every element of the temporary shelter, once on the go again, becomes fully wearable in a way sportswear has never been thought of before. 

Sources of inspiration like Jacques Demy’s Peau d’Âne or her ceramist mother bringing real porcelain plates on their camping holidays keep her fascinated with nonsense. 

Bivouac proposes a unique and poetic vision of camping. The objects are handmade using different artisanal techniques that make them precious but fully usable.
