Flâneurs is a small team, spread between Brittany and Normandy, specifically between our store in Rennes and the one in Granville.
The Rennes store is located at 5 rue Leperdit, and it offers a selection primarily for men with a special focus on selvedge jeans, Japanese brands, and also a selection of knits from the best European manufacturers.
The products you find online are also those available in Rennes.

Our Story
Our first store was opened in 2004 in Granville, Lower Normandy. It was a small shop offering a selection of clothing for men and women, with a strong focus on denim even at that time. A few years later, the store moved a few meters up the street, near the Casino and Plat Gousset beach, where it still stands today.
In 2010, during a trade show in Berlin, we met Brandon Svarc and Bahzad Trinos from Naked & Famous Denim for the first time. At the time, the brand was almost unknown in France and was among the first to popularize Japanese selvedge jeans. After several trips to Japan, we expanded our range of selvedge jeans with Momotaro, then Japan Blue.
Several encounters, such as with Oishi-san (Oni Denim) or Seiji Isono, the founder of FOB Factory, were decisive and allowed us to create strong and lasting connections.
In 2013 we opened the Rennes store. It's a shop exclusively for men, featuring brands that are still the pillars of our current selection.
In 2018 we launched the website, which was a significant challenge, as there were only two of us at the time to manage everything.
In 2021, after 8 years at 4B, the Rennes store moved to 5 rue Leperdit. We crossed the street to move into a space three times larger. This is where you'll find us today.
Our Fashion Vision
After more than twenty years in business, our perspective has evolved significantly. Tired of ever-evolving fashion and the pace set by major industry players, we have gradually focused our research on more specialized and confidential labels. For the past ten years, we have been working to grow a selection of permanent and timeless products, rather than seeking novelty at all costs. Visiting the places, touring the factories, building strong partnerships, and developing collaboration projects... this is what drives us and keeps our motivation alive even today.
