Parisian Contemporary Menswear Brand "13 Bonaparte" Approved for E-2 Treaty Investor Statu


Founded in 2011 by French Artistic Director David Sarfati, 13 Bonaparte is a Paris-based contemporary menswear brand. The brand’s evolving midseason wardrobe is driven by thoughtful design, innovative fabrication, and distinguished styling. Since its inception, David has steered the brand’s creative direction, including the recent development of a 19-piece women’s collection (Sidebar: I own one of the denim skirts and it is perfection). He has also strategically driven the brand’s global positioning, which now includes retailers in Japan and Europe, as well as its flagship space in the Haut-Marais district of Paris.

In light of growing demand from an active and engaged American clientele, 13 Bonaparte first launched a pop-up store in New York City this past Spring. Rave reviews quickly followed, including articles in GQ, New York Magazine, WWD, and Vogue. Later this year, a permanent outpost of the brand was secured in Los Angeles. Further expanding the brand’s presence and accessibility in North America, an E-commerce platform for US and Canadian clients is also in the works, expected to launch this month.

Congratulations to David and the 13 Bonaparte team for its impressive launch in the United States. It has been our honor to assist you in this endeavor and we look forward to watching the brand grow here.

Check out 13 Bonparte online and if you are in the Los Angeles area, be sure to stop by the new retail space at ROW DTLA.
