If you were a French kid growing up in the 80s, it is very likely that you would have owned at least once a pair of Bensimon. My sister and I lived our Summers in Bensimon…
At the start of each Summer, we would pick a new colour and wear them in and out during the next Summer months at the beach.
As a mother now, I realised how convenient it was to get your kids a pair of Bensimon. It was the perfect, light, easy-to-care-for pair of shoes to pack for the holidays with the added value that it looked great with a pretty dress or a pair of shorts. A no-brainer really!
Like my mum, I kept on the family tradition by getting Mila her own pairs of Bensimon as the start of the Summer.
Recently, Bensimon did a collab’ with Nils Inne, a French Artist born in Nice (south of France) who is greatly inspired by Artists like Mark Gonzales, Dave Kinsey, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.
A great skater too, Nils designed a limited edition pair of Bensimon & a skateboard which Mila is sporting above.
As Mila is a keen skateboarder, we are running a little competition on her Instagram to give away TWO PAIRS OF Bensimon x Nils.
