CONNOISSEURS OF WARMTH AND PURVEYORS OF FRENCH MOUNTAIN CHIC SINCE 1933

The word “NIVOSE” (pronounced “NEE-VOZ” in French) came from the French Republican Calendar created during the French Revolution in 1789 to symbolise the new age of liberty. “NIVOSE” was the name of the first month of the winter quarter and marked the beginning of winter. The month Nivose was named after the Latin word nivosus, which means snowy. It was followed by the months of Pluviose and Ventose. It reminded people of snow, mountains, winter and peaks, and the word itself was powerful and evocative.
