From Paris to Penarth: The Story Behind Bordeaux12

Some businesses begin with a business plan. Bordeaux12 began with a passion.

Founded by Jane Pirrie in 2025, Bordeaux12 was born from a deep admiration for the craftsmanship and artistry embedded in vintage French design. Finding genuine, high quality pieces was often frustrating. The market was crowded, but authenticity was not guaranteed.

So Jane decided to create something different.

A curated response to fast fashion

At Bordeaux12, Jane searches globally to uncover exceptional French designer vintage clothing and jewellery. Each piece is selected with intention, with a focus on specific decades and iconic aesthetics, from classic structured Chanel tailoring to rare statement Givenchy jewellery sets.

Vintage is more than sustainable. It is responsible luxury.

By investing in pre-loved designer fashion, you:

  • Reduce environmental impact
  • Extend the life of expertly crafted garments
  • Support circular fashion
  • Own something truly unique

This is fashion that has already stood the test of time.

Beyond the label

What sets Bordeaux12 apart is a commitment to a personalised experience. This is not simply an online store. It is a carefully curated destination for collectors, stylists and those who appreciate fashion history.

Every piece is personally inspected and authenticated by Jane before it is listed. Her standards are exacting, because you expect nothing less.
