The French phrase cache-cache means the game “hide and seek”. With Caché-Caché, customers can feel the spirit of “game” and “fun” they create. They change their styles according to different moods, whether it is impish, playful, natural, adventurous, sparkling and so on. Style mavens can get to experiment and be rebelliously fashionable with its apparel and accessories that fit whatever game you would like to put on without sacrificing quality and sophistication.

The brand had its beginnings in Saint Malo, France in 1985. Caché-Caché is one of the 5 fashion labels under the Beaumanior Group. With the successful acquisition of the famous Morgan brand in 2009, Beaumanoir Group accelerated their pace of development, combined with the advantages of the brand’s resources and advanced management experience. One of the keys to their success is due to its “willing-to-share” rather than “ready-to-take” franchising system. Caché-Caché started to establish itself in the international market in 2005, with Shanghai being the chosen location for their first international store. Following this, similar launches were made in Saudi Arabia, Poland, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, Spain, Greece, Romania, Singapore – and soon in Manila!

With Caché-Caché’s cool, chic, and vibrant designs, it continues to become the favorite partner in fashion of many stylephiles all over the world and now in Manila!

Press Events and Beauty Editors

By | Fashion, Hot Off the Press | One Comment

 Heart2Heart wants to feature the people behind the magazines and newspapers that you read.  They are the ones who make sure that they inform everyone of all the new things out there and recommending products to use.  So many companies show them all the new products being launched and they pass them on to all of us through their features and articles in their publications.

It is not a surprise that  they are all so beautiful and they come so fashionable and all..which is maybe why they are called BEAUTY EDITORS 🙂 They fit the job so well! Sometimes i mistake them for the models.  Just looking at them is a show in itself 🙂

prmodelcoebar6.jpgprmodelcoebar7.jpgprmodelcoebar9.jpgprmodelcoebar10.jpgprmodelcoebar11.jpg

And of course the people who do a great job, work behind the scenes and put together the stores, the merchandising and launching all the new products out there – they are all BEAUTIFUL as well!

prmodelcoebar5.jpgdsc_9493.jpg

Even the venue and food are all planned out well….
