<p>
Monsieur Madone is a band of friends, dedicated travelers, each a champion in his category and waves’ lovers. From place to place, they imagine, and each journey turns into a tailor-made travel diary, the ready-to-wear concept mirroring their personality. They draw a line both relaxed and chic, easy to wear, bursting out of the water and breaking into the night.</p>
<p>
Spring 2011, La Joya, California, an unexpected fresco appears on their road ahead: the “Madonna of the Surfers”, protector of the oceans and its adepts. They witness how Monsieur Madone is born, under a good star.</p>

<strong>Philosophy of Monsieur Madone:</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In the city as well as on the beach, Monsieur Madone enhances an authentic and elegant look. With a refined body, he cares about style but is cool and grounded. </p>
<p>
He: displays the three French creators’ spirit of quality and details. He: appreciates the comfort of the fashioned in Italy and Portugal products.</p>

<p>
<strong>Where we are :</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
- We collaborate with Europeans fabric suppliers and garment makers who are willing to develop quality products in limited series;</p>
<p>
- We have developed a beachwear line for men (swimming shorts and light sweaters for spring and summer) in colors and fabrics that are inspired by a journey to Tahiti;</p>
<p>
- The products are made with nice high-end fabrics (fast dry nylon, mother-of-pearl buttons, etc.) and with care (embroideries, sewings, etc.)</p>
<p>
- A template and a prototype were developed and accepted for each model;</p>
<p>
- Retailers are diffusing our products in France and Italy ;</p>
<p>
- A lot of good friends have helped out since the beginning;</p>
<p>

<strong>What we still have to do :</strong></p>
<p>
- Buy fabrics and accessories necessary to build up the products;</p>
<p>
- Export the brand in the USA ;</p>
