ANICET X TRANOÏ PARIS

The Tranoï Experience and Its Impact:

Last year was your first time participating in Tranoï. What stood out the most during this experience?
September 2024 marked our first experience with Tranoï, and we were thrilled by the warm welcome from both the organizing team and the connections we built with other exhibitors. One of the most memorable aspects was the partnerships we established, particularly in Japan.

How did your presence at Tranoï impact Anicet’s development?
Thanks to Tranoï, we secured our first international retailers outside of France, particularly in Asia. It was also an opportunity to better understand buyers' needs and reconnect with institutional supporters such as the City of Paris (through the Bureau of Fashion, Design, and Craftsmanship), Francéclat, the Ministry of Culture, and the press.

What motivated you to return for this new edition?
I was motivated to return because of the incredible experience we had in September. Additionally, I wanted to establish a long-term presence and a recurring platform to further develop our international distribution.

Are you preparing any new or special pieces for this edition of Tranoï?
Absolutely! We’re excited to present this new permanent collection. It’s expanded and more structured, featuring highly requested pieces like ear cuffs and keychains, along with exceptional one-of-a-kind creations.

The Future of Anicet and Elia’s Vision

How do you see the future of Anicet? Do you have any upcoming projects or collaborations?
We’re entering this new year with great enthusiasm. We aim to continue expanding both in France and internationally. One of our goals is to establish more partnerships with brands looking to upcycle their dormant stock through exclusive capsule collections—a beautiful way to combine craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability.
We also want to keep developing special projects, such as our exhibition for the Olympic Games.
An exciting collaboration is on the horizon… We can’t wait to share more with you soon!

What advice would you give to a young designer looking to exhibit at a trade show like Tranoï?
Be well-prepared. Stay authentic, highlight what makes you unique, and don’t be afraid to be innovative and creative.
