HÂTONS-NOUS DE RÊVER*
FIGARET X ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPÉRY FOUNDATION
In honor of the 80th anniversary of the writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s disappearance, Figaret collaborates with Éditions Gallimard and the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Foundation for Youth to create a special tribute...
This partnership has given birth to a limited edition of two unisex shirts, delicately embroidered with the verse "Hâtons-nous de rêver" (The urge to dream*), from the poem "Veillée" that Saint-Exupéry wrote at age 21 for his fiancée, Louise de Vilmorin—published by Éditions Gallimard.
A collection designed to dress both heroic wanderers and stationary dreamers alike
The capsule pays tribute to the visionary pilot-writer, whose humanist tales still resonate deeply in the collective imagination. These values are carried forward by the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation for Youth, which has been promoting education and citizenship for disadvantaged young people in France and across the globe for over fifteen years.
ANTOINE
The Antoine shirt draws inspiration from the uniforms worn by pilots of the Latécoère airline company, which later became Aéropostale—where Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was one of the trailblazers.
Crafted from navy blue ripstop fabric, the shirt incorporates elements echoing parachute materials. It features envelope flap chest pockets, one side-entry pocket—perfect for slipping in a flight plan—and a pointy collar secured by buttons, offering both functionality and style. The hidden beige-thread embroidery, "Hâtons-nous de rêver," inside the collar, serves as a subtle nod to Saint-Exupéry’s Night Flight.
Limited to 150 pieces.
Each Antoine shirt will come with an exclusive reproduction of the original poem "Veillée" (December 1921, Casablanca), published in "Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Du vent, du sable et des étoiles" from Gallimard's Quarto collection—a collection that will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025.

The second creation of the capsule offers a fresh take on our iconic "Je t'aime" model.
This unisex white poplin shirt features a hidden midnight blue embroidery inside the button placket, subtly adding a touch of poetry—close to the heart...
