BIENAIMÉ
When Robert Bienaimé died in 1960, the Bienaimé brand was mothballed for several decades before its rebirth in 2021 under the leadership of Cécilia Mergui.
Passionate about Art Deco aesthetics since she was a child, Cécilia collects objects, drawings and furniture from this period, and it was while browsing on an online flea market that she discovered a powder case from the brand Bienaimé. This beauty object, refillable before its time, aroused her curiosity with its Art Deco aesthetic and its durable aspect. The combination of these two worlds made her want to know more about the history of the House Bienaimé. Driven by the desire to offer a beauty brand that is environmentally friendly while cultivating the Art Deco style that she loves so much, she bought the brand in 2019 and decided to relaunch it.
Faithful to the heritage of Robert Bienaimé, Cécilia Mergui follows in the footsteps of the brand’s founder, to whom she has great admiration and respect. Her ambition? To continue to bring to life the splendour of the House Bienaimé by infusing it with a touch of modernity.
