Audience Analysis from D’Estrëe Paris

D’ESTRËE Paris is a small luxury brand from the magical city Paris. Was founded in 2015 between London and Paris.
The conceptualization to design was formed in english city but the inspiration and heart always stayed in la cité de l’amour. This city was inspired to her designer.

The first step to understanding the hearing of this contemporary Parisian is to know the inspiration on which it is based.

The love by straight lines, geometric and almost perfect own
of a contemporary artist makes this possible relationship between classical and modern, art and fashion.

In the second place, D’Estrëe has two key pieces, hats and bags. It is for this reason that the hearing focuses on women 20 to 35 years, mainly (some models of hats have been sold also among men).
Taking into account the price of hats (between 250-350 euros) and the price of bags are 1.250 euros, causes that consumers of the brand are people of high class.

The audience of D’Estrëe is international, with strong European inspirations (French, British, Italian,…) with an aesthetic interest you are looking for the perfection of the details. As well as a concern for art and painting.
With all this, the time has come to see why a brand like this is related to a specific person, with me, the personal college (the first photo) and my personal college label by D’Estrëe Paris (second photo).

A person active in social networks, with a particular taste in architecture, design, and you would like to spend the afternoon in an art gallery and not in front of a TV.

That does not pass the opportunity to travel to other cities and explored the particular streets, observe the people around you, and, of course, always accompanies the phone and a classic book, by Jane Austen or Fitzgerald.

Looking for a brand that represents him not only for his pieces designed but by its brand philosophy and the activity that keeps with the public, the interactivity in the networks.
