Every week, we invite a member of the Linnea Lund community to meet with us to hear their vision of their personal style. Together, we discuss their relationship with clothing, their wardrobe, and how they enjoy mixing and matching our iconic cashmere pieces. And of course, it's exciting, delicate, and filled with love.
Today, Capucine, founder of the brand Capulette, joins us for this week of #MyLinneaLund.
As she likes to define herself, this "colomaniac" adores prints, ikat fabrics, and velvet—three essential components of her style that she loves to highlight in her creations, especially in her collection of colorful velvet slippers inspired by the Friulane, a traditional slipper from Venice in the 1940s, now worn by urban women thanks to Capucine's revisited designs. For Capucine, softness and colors embody the essence of a comforting and warm brand, qualities that resonate with Linnea Lund.
Charlotte was eager to invite Capucine, whom she had met some time ago at The Reunion event at the Crillon. Since then, they had reunited over a Swedish breakfast to share their common values in fashion: timeless and colorful pieces crafted from beautiful fabrics by the finest artisans. For Capucine, these artisans are located in Uzbekistan, where she selects her precious textiles before they reach Italy and a small traditional workshop where each shoe is meticulously crafted, including the famous recycled bicycle tire soles. This artisanal and eco-conscious dimension inevitably appeals to us at Linnea Lund.
On a beautiful March day, accompanied by her daughter Alma and dressed in our Edward sweater, Capucine warmly welcomes us to her boutique in the 8th arrondissement of Paris with her charming smile, ready for a discussion where she shares her story through her wardrobe and the Linnea Lund pieces she cherishes.
How would you define your style?
Timeless with beautiful materials which, for me, are essential for elegance. And of course, cashmere is a part of it!
What is your favorite color in the Linnea Lund palette?
Oatmeal, Honey, and Pearl Grey... In fact, I love the entire range of colors from Linnea Lund. I could definitely wear emerald green. I adore colors!
How do you wear Linnea Lund cashmere?
I like to wear the Greta and Matilda models with high-waisted jeans. Your socks are a joy to wear. And sometimes, I borrow my daughter's Maya collar :)
What objects represent Sweden for you?
Passionate about design and furniture, I am interested in Scandinavian design, I love its clean lines and materials. And of course, IKEA remains essential ;)
