The Client Background

The Client

Le Temps des Cerises, a French ready-to-wear brand founded in 1998, has established itself as a fashion icon, especially in the world of "jean" or "denim" fabric. Today, this family business achieves a turnover of around 100 million euros, thanks to sales made online and in-store. It operates in 80 boutiques across France and internationally, notably through a well-established multi-brand affiliation network.

The brand is best known for its jeans that combine style and comfort, becoming essentials in any wardrobe. Over the years, it has expanded its range to include clothing and accessories that reflect an urban and modern style. The brand is deeply committed to its values and French craftsmanship, while engaging in eco-responsible production. Continuously pursuing growth and international development, Le Temps des Cerises has decided to move towards an innovative digital strategy and a strong presence on Social Networks. In full development, the brand has become a must-have fashion label among 15-35 year-olds today. It also offers its customers a "user-friendly" app to manage their purchases and loyalty accounts.

The Context Background

The Context

Navigating the world of modern retail can be a challenging exercise, given the technological advancements in the sector and the changing expectations of customers.

Today, still between 75 and 80% of purchases are made in-store. Consumers are increasingly returning to local shops.

The growing interest of consumers in dematerialization is illustrated by the adoption by a third of the French population of Mobile Wallet functionalities, whether for payments (online or in-store) or for the use of loyalty cards when needed. The mobile wallet has become a true link between offline and online commerce.
