Cabaia

In February 2015 Bastien was wearing the pompom hat that his grandmother had knitted for him when he lost it in the Paris metro. He then looked for a replacement but found only dreary, soulless and shoddy hats. Entrepreneur at heart, Bastien then had the idea of ​​a brand that resembles him, jovial and honest, whose mission is to put a good mood in the accessories and in the life of whoever wears them.

He then created our first concept: The beanie bar! Emilien In the winter of 2015 at the other end of Paris, while Bastien was still looking for his hat, Emilien was deeply bored in his job as a nuclear engineer, too regulated, too slow, not creative enough and therefore decided to mount a first company which he closed after a year. During an aperitif, Emilien, who was looking for a new project in which to invest, met Bastien. The duo therefore joined forces (after many glasses of wine) and Emilien infused Cabaïa with his commitment to animals and created our motto “serious is boring”, a nod to his old work.
