Huit Trois, Var, as a stylistic signature

Nestled in the heart of Le Pradet, this address embodies a return to roots, a Mediterranean art of living, and a contemporary aesthetic that is already establishing itself as an obvious choice. At the origin of the project is Frédéric Caval. After more than twenty years in Paris as a creative director, he left the capital to return home.

The trigger? The health crisis, that suspended moment that gave rise to a desire for simplicity and authenticity. "In Le Pradet, I find everything that inspires me: the sea, nature, conviviality, but also the energy of a territory in motion," he confides.

He adds: "Huit Trois is much more than a label, it is an art of living, a solar vision of fashion, where each piece becomes a fragment of territory to wear on oneself."

ARTISANAL LUXURY The name Huit Trois, an elegant nod to the 83 department, is no coincidence. It says everything about the DNA of the brand, which is a tribute to Var, to its plurality, and to its art of living. More than a brand, a declaration of love.

"The first collection, soberly named The One, consists of 28 limited edition pieces. From unisex t-shirts to oversized sweatshirts, including women's and children's models, each garment is part of an assumed eco-responsible approach: organic cotton, local supply chains, reasoned production," adds the creator. The style is minimalist and timeless, with that graphic touch designed by Caval himself, who prints and embroiders each piece in the workshop set up in the basement of the boutique.

The result: local, sustainable, but above all, desirable fashion.

Behind every garment, there is a gesture and two people, Frédéric and Cassandra, his apprentice. Thanks to the DTF printing technique, every detail is controlled from the drawing to the finished piece. This allows for agile and exclusive production, with the possibility of creating limited edition "drops", true objects of desire for a clientele in search of originality.

The boutique is designed as a contemporary showcase where every piece breathes the Mediterranean. But the story is only just beginning. Frédéric is already dreaming of expanding Huit Trois across the entire department, with the ambition of building an identity-based, strong, and timeless brand.
