All Skins are beautiful
No Reward Without Risk
Risk is an inseparable companion to reward, a sentiment deeply ingrained in the Californian ethos.
When Christophe embarked on the unconventional journey of splitting traditional ties in half and wearing them beneath his shirt, the response surpassed his expectations. With a track record of launching successful ventures in both France and California, Christophe’s SkinTie brand naturally evolved. "I'm a firm believer in serendipity, and this product feels like it has found its rightful time and place."
California, a melting pot of diverse gender identities, presented an ideal backdrop for disrupting conventional neckwear. SkinTie transcends gender boundaries, offering a universal accessory free to embody any expression.
A Vision for the Future
Christophe envisions SkinTie as a distinctive unisex statement reflecting an individual's personality and style. With personalization as a cornerstone, SkinTie continues its journey toward becoming a lifestyle brand with an eco-responsible focus.
Philanthropic Commitment
Christophe's connection to philanthropy is deep. 3% of SkinTie's sales revenue supports Les Amis de l'Ecole Spéciale de Brazzaville, a charity aiding vulnerable children in the Congo.
"Untie Your Life"
Christophe's motto, "Untie your life," reflects his journey. SkinTie fuses his passion for fashion, art, business, and philanthropy into one unique product that redefines traditional neckwear and unites his personal and professional life.
La Bohème Chic & SkinTie
Christophe’s vision combines California and France to create La Bohème Chic, a lifestyle brand focused on eco-friendly, bohemian-chic fashion. Together with SkinTie, they create a distinctive experience of soft elegance, ultra-comfort, and bohemian flair.
