É ternel Parisien was born from the creative mind of renowned French designer, Gilles Rosier. A Paris native, the city he calls home has motivated Rosier throughout his career. "Gilles Rosier has lived in Paris for most of his life and it has always been the main source of his inspiration," President of Éternel Parisien, Stéphane Vigié told me. "He is a true Parisien. He knows the city inside out— its mood and spirit, its energy, its sense of humor, its cultural diversity, its biases, and prejudices also. ere came a point in his life when creating a brand based on what Paris is all about was just the right and obvious thing to do. Being a Parisien is a way of being but also a way of doing things." From this inspiration, and two long years of studies and research, Rosier created Éternel Parisien. A concept brand with its finger on the pulse of Paris, é.p. is creating French accessories in real-time. Éternel Parisen's current luxury accessories are defined by sleek lines, functionality, high-quality leather, and purposeful accents. One of é.p.'s signature designs is the multi-functional Le Tout Paris, or e Paris Tote. Made of deep green calfskin leather and adorned with black leather handles and a striped cotton strap, this versatile carryall is perfect for hand carrying or throwing effortlessly over one's shoulder. e interior of the tote is lined with black twill, and hidden inner handles provide yet another way to carry the stately bag.
