Benjamine, a bit mischievous... fatally divine!
From its elder sister Twiggy, our Benjamine tailor dress took over the signature buttonhole and falsely wise look.
But, don't be fooled! Like all little sis', Benjamine has a strong personality. A short cut, a captivating blue and a widened waistband: a small centimeter that takes us straight from the 50' to the 70'!
Benjamine is also available in an exquisite Haute Couture orange silk-satin.
Composition:
Main fabric: 70% Virgin Wool, 30% Mohair
Lining: 100% Cupro (orange, our signature!)
Care instruction:
Good news! Benjamine can be washed at home, either by hand or using your washing machine but with some caution due to the exceptional nature of its fabric. More specifically, wash it in a laundry bag at a maximum of 30°C, on a gentle cycle, with low spin speed. For drying: lay flat and air dry (absolutely no tumble drying!). For ironing, choose the "delicate-wool" mode of your iron (and avoid the buttons!). Any doubt? Entrust your loved one to an ecological laundry or call us for further advice!
🌱 In Spring: worn over a t-shirt, a lace shirt with balloon sleeves or a bodysuit, Benjamine will elegantly accompany you on sunny days.
🌻 In Summer: Benjamine will be perfect just like that!
🍁 In Autumn / Winter: we can easily imagine this luminous blue worn over a small white turtleneck sock sweater.
👠 What do I put on my feet?
Absolutely anything you like! Sneakers, heels, high boots or ankle boots… everything suits Benjamine. Want a total 70s look? Opt for white boots!
Psst! To give Benjamin a swanky twist, why not replace her belt with a pretty, colorful scarf?
Recommendations:
Benjamine fits true-to-size. Between two sizes? Take the bigger one for more ease; likewise if you have a large chest.

"I am the happy and proud owner of Carlotta and recently Ziggy and they are two beauties! Everything is magnificent about them: the design, the cut, the materials ❤️🔥 and the finishes! What a pleasure to be able to buy pieces also beautiful designed and manufactured with passion in a spirit of sustainability and in conditions of respect for people. And what can we say about their creator: considerate, attentive and with a little mischievous air in her images which is reflected in her dresses 🤗 ! A real gem not a treasure in this world overwhelmed by fast fashion! 🧡🧡🧡"
"I discovered this beautiful brand during a pop-up store, and I fell for the Carlotta jumpsuit which fits me like a glove. It's a real pleasure to wear it. Very happy to support a brand made in France . And the designer is adorable, she takes great care of her clients. I recommend!”
"I fell in love with the Carlotta, which combines the elegance of a dress with the comfort of a playsuit. Neat finishes, a particularly soft and breathable lining and a flattering cut, what more could you ask for?! :) It's a real pleasure to support this committed brand, with 100% French models that the passionate designer, Scarlett, has thought out down to the smallest detail."
"Conquered by my Twiggy before even wearing it! Perfectly adjusted, highlights the curves, a jewel. The plus for the bare back, a pretty piece in the back to hide the bra. The designer is passionate, transmits her enthusiasm and sincere joy at seeing and contemplating her dresses worn. Magnificent discovery. One of the prettiest dresses in my wardrobe. Thank you Carlos Carlos Paris!”
"Finally a REAL brand, 100% French-made and transparent about its recipes. For my part, I immediately fell in love with the Ziggy but after discussion with the stylist I finally took the Carlotta! It is perfect and d "great quality. I really appreciated the help of the designer who explains with heart all the little details that make her dresses unique. I can't wait to see the next collection (if I don't fall for the Ziggy first) !”
"A very nice discovery! Little dresses worked down to the smallest buttons! A very nice meeting with a designer explaining to you with passion her work from drawing to the choice of labels and eager to promote all the people with whom she works. Happy owner of Carlotta, Looking forward to the next collection!”
“The Carlos Carlos brand is still young but already has its character and an assertive style. For all fans of the sixties, this is definitely a brand that will please you and immerse you in its world. The three models of dresses that I tried are super pleasant, easy to wear in everyday life, for appointments or for any festive occasion, I love them! Thanks again to Scarlett, the creator of Carlos Carlos, for her passion and taste, I can't wait to see the next pieces to come!"
"The CarlosCarlos dresses are magnificent! The after-sales service is top notch, the dresses are really of very good quality, the designer is always there to inform you and help you choose your perfect dress. I have already found my happiness: the Twiggy dress that I adore!!!"
"Happy owner of a ZIGGY: A perfect little dress for all occasions, very pleasant and easy to wear, for me in a casual way with boots, espadrilles or clogs, sleeves rolled up or not, it is naturally chic and beautiful in all its seams: the little detail that makes all the difference: the cross darts on the chest. The fabrics are light, the lining does not stick to the skin and the zipper slides perfectly, all these finishes exude quality."
"I'm delighted! The playsuit is very comfortable and I love the patterns. I thought I might be a little warm with it but not at all, the lining is very breathable, it's very pleasant. I will continue to follow Carlos Carlos up close. Scarlett is passionate and it's a pleasure :)"
“Very good quality dress. I can wear my dress in any season, I love it”
"Scarlett is a bright person, like her dresses. I bought the Ziggy dress, original, I wear it for business meetings as well as for dancing, I love it!"
"I bought a dress for my wife in this boutique from a young designer, she was delighted. The quality is there for this 100% made in France production."
“A committed brand, a passionate designer, unique, colorful and very good quality pieces, in short, a store that is really worth the detour! Scarlett also gives good advice and takes pleasure in advising us on our choices!”
