By Residence is an independent fashion and design store inspired by the aesthetics of the 1960s to the 1990s.

We curate contemporary designers and objects through a cultural and lifestyle-driven approach, blending past influences with modern creative vision.

Residence was created to reconnect with a certain idea of beauty — one rooted in quality, coherence, and emotion — an aesthetic language that has gradually disappeared from mainstream retail.

Drawing inspiration from the utopian narratives of the 60–90s, we imagine a retro-inspired setting that invites discovery, travel, and curiosity.

Residence brings together independent fashion and design labels selected for their coherence, craftsmanship, and creative integrity.

Each piece is chosen for its soul, its intention, and its place within a broader visual and cultural narrative.

Rather than following trends blindly, we focus on designers whose work carries meaning, consistency, and a strong personal universe.

Our curation includes:

• Contemporary fashion by independent designers
  
• Vintage pieces from the 60s to the 90s
  
• Design objects and books connected to lifestyle and creative culture

For us, fashion and design naturally coexist.

They share the same sensitivity, the same attention to detail, and the same ability to shape a way of living.

Residence explores this intersection as a lifestyle ecosystem, where clothing, objects, and cultural references form a coherent whole — inspired by the past, rooted in the present.

Vintage pieces act as an historical echo, while contemporary creations extend that legacy into new forms.

Residence is conceived as a secret passage to creation.

We work directly with designers and creators, offering a platform that respects their work and allows their vision to be presented without distortion.

Orders are often shipped directly by the designers themselves, reinforcing a transparent and human-scale model.

Residence is not a mass marketplace.

It is a curated space — a place to discover, understand, and support independent creation.

Residence exists both online and as a physical presence within Comptoir Général.

More than a store, it is a collective and a meeting point — hosting events, creative residencies, and cultural moments that extend beyond commerce.

Fashion, design, and culture are treated as living practices, meant to be shared and experienced.

Residence stands in contrast to purely transactional e-commerce platforms.

We believe in emotion over volume, coherence over excess, and culture over algorithms.

Residence is a home for independent fashion and design labels, inspired by the creative spirit of the 60s to the 90s — curated for today.
