The Patou House

Who is Patou?

Patou is a fashion house created by Jean Patou in 1914.

Patou is a century of couture, a revolution in women's fashion (sportswear, swimwear, sunscreen, and the monogram...), iconic ambassadors (Josephine Baker, Mistinguett, Suzanne Lenglen, Louise Brooks), as well as unforgettable perfumes (Joy, 1000), not to mention some of the most renowned designers who took over (Marc Bohan, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix ...).

Patou is a renaissance, a new chapter of Patou-à-porter, women’s ready-to-wear with a few accessories here and there, under the artistic direction of Guillaume Henry.

Patou is Patou!

But Jean Patou is also perfumes, right?

Yes, indeed! Jean Patou revolutionized the perfume industry with some of the most iconic fragrances of the 20th century.

Today, Jean Patou's fragrances are no longer in production. However, you can still find your favourite Jean Patou perfumes in select authorized outlets around the world.
