Summary :
The story could begin like this: ‘Once upon a time, there were three sisters: Evelyne, Chantal and Monique, who decided to revolutionise bridal fashion…’.
In Nemours, in the heart of the Seine-et-Marne department, Evelyne Delaroche and Chantal and Monique Joubert have been running an exceptional company for 40 years, dedicated entirely to wedding dresses: Cymbeline.
Descended from three generations of seamstresses, these three women with their distinctive personalities have a genuine passion and talent for creating wedding dresses. Before them, their grandmother Emelia embellished with pearls in the old-fashion way in Lunéville, while their mother Andrée was a laundress, embroiderer and dressmaker at the Folies Bergères.
At the head of a company that they run in a very maternal way, the three women tell us about their relationship with the brand’s customers and with their creations, which are renewed every year. And they wouldn’t dream of handing over the reins for anything in the world, as not to prove their adage wrong: ‘Who better than a woman to understand the dreams of another woman?
