Inspired by their desire to dress their own children with elegance, <strong>Marie-France and Bernard Cohen<\/strong> opened their <strong>first boutique at 67 rue de l\u2019Universit\u00e9, in the 7th arrondissement<\/strong>. The brand quickly stood out for its delicate aesthetic and artisanal approach to clothing for the very young.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>From Parisian roots to global expansion<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Very quickly, Bonpoint established its signature codes: the<strong> use of noble materials, impeccable cuts, and refined details that combine functionality with poetry<\/strong>.<strong> The logo<\/strong>, symbolized by<strong> two small cherries<\/strong>, became an instantly recognizable signature, evoking the emotional bond between the Maison and its clientele.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_186216\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-186216\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-186216\" title=\"hero page histoire archive\" src=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hero-page-histoire-archive.webp\" alt=\"hero page histoire archive\" width=\"1400\" height=\"2545\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-186216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 <\/span>Bonpoint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>During the 1980s, the brand expanded its creative universe beyond clothing<\/strong>. In 1986, <strong>Annick Goutal<\/strong>\u2014Marie-France Cohen\u2019s sister and a renowned perfumer &#8211; created <strong><em>Eau de Bonpoint<\/em><\/strong>, a gentle fragrance designed for children. In <strong>1988<\/strong>, <strong>Bonpoint crossed borders by opening its first boutique in New York on Madison Avenue<\/strong>, a strong symbol of its international outlook.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the years that followed, the brand continued to expand both geographically and in terms of its product offering, while remaining faithful to its philosophy: combining couture tradition with innovation tailored to the world of childhood. <strong>In 2007, Bonpoint was acquired by the French group EPI<\/strong>, enabling it to strengthen its international presence with <strong>a network of around 130 boutiques in 30 countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Craftsmanship, diversification, and modernity<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The history of Bonpoint is also one of continuous evolution<\/strong>. After opening new flagship boutiques &#8211; such as the one on rue de Tournon in Paris, conceived as a true experiential space for families &#8211; the brand gradually broadened its universe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the 2010s, Bonpoint entered the beauty and skincare world<\/strong>, launching <strong>a high-end range of hypoallergenic products tested under dermatological control<\/strong>. Its <strong>pop-up spa at Le Bristol Paris<\/strong> further illustrates this desire to offer a complete sensory experience centered on childhood and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38132\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38132\" style=\"width: 563px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-38132\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/hiver_7d4874aa-a0a1-4ed1-ae56-20dadd9a6869-563x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"563\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 <\/span>Bonpoint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the creative front, the brand has welcomed various artistic directors over the years, integrating designers who enrich its heritage while bringing a contemporary vision.
