The birth of Vent de bohème

Vent de bohème is the story of a French brand born in 2013, the fruit of an encounter between two curious and inspired souls: Karine and Patrick. Driven by a shared vision of life and an insatiable thirst for discovery, this duo has turned every experience, every moment, into an explosion of colours, patterns and new ideas.

A creative journey

Since our beginnings, we have drawn hundreds of patterns, each one reflecting an emotion, a memory or a hidden beauty captured along the way on our adventures. From hand fans to outdoor textiles, every creation is a unique piece, designed to brighten your everyday life with a touch of originality and a palette of vibrant colours. No more dull, soulless interiors! At Vent de bohème, we celebrate difference, boldness and, above all, the joy of living.

Our philosophy of freedom and inspiration

“We create our designs with freedom as our only constraint. Our inspirations are endless, whether they come from a book or a journey, and it is this freedom that brings to life a poetic, floral and resolutely colourful world.”

Patrick, co-founder of Vent de bohème

“Every time I come home from a trip, I bring back the same treasures: the beauty of the landscapes, the sound of laughter and the pleasure of sharing. Our creations were born from these moments of wonder and, I hope, they will bring a little of that magic into your life.”

Karine, co-founder of Vent de bohème

A commitment to quality and sustainability

We do not chase overproduction or profit at any cost. We believe in the value of handmade work, in the quality of materials and in a manufacturing process that respects resources. Our textiles and inks are eco-friendly, our wood comes from carefully managed sources, and our products travel short distances, staying close to you and limiting their footprint.

We work with artisan manufacturers, often family-run businesses that share our love of beautiful, well-made things.

A brand at the crossroads of Mediterranean influences

Our creations take shape between Occitanie, Provence, Spain and northern Italy:

  • Montpellier, France – home to our design studio and warehouse: every pattern is drawn here by hand.
  • Jura, France – where our trays are made.
  • Milan, Italy – where our textiles are sewn.
  • Spain – where our hand fans are made.
