About the Brand
Founded in Paris in 2021 by Claire Hirsch, ZHIGGIE offers a singular vision of femininity shaped by personal memory and poetic silhouettes. Inspired by the aura of an imaginary dancer, each collection is conceived as a focused, emotional wardrobe. All garments are entirely made in Paris, in our own atelier, reflecting a form of luxury that is both human and responsible.
Since its beginnings, ZHIGGIE has found its natural home in Saint-Tropez, an emblem of elegance and Riviera glamour. In 2024, the brand opened its flagship boutique on rue du Général Allard, marking a new chapter in its development.

Exercise
A client enters the ZHIGGIE boutique in Saint-Tropez during the summer season.
She tries on and immediately loves the Mathilde skirt – navy gingham.
- Which two other specific ZHIGGIE pieces would you suggest to complete her silhouette?
- (Please indicate the exact product names.)
- Explain why you would recommend these pieces, from a luxury service and styling perspective (not a sales pitch).
- The client usually wears a French size 38.
- What size would you recommend for the Mathilde skirt
- What size would you recommend for the other ZHIGGIE pieces
- Briefly explain your reasoning.
- If the client hesitates, write one short sentence you could use to reassure her, without pressure.
In 5 to 8 lines maximum, explain how you would introduce ZHIGGIE to a client who does not know the brand yet.
This should sound like a natural conversation in a luxury boutique, not like a brand presentation or a website text.
