Named after “rigado” fishing (“cockle fishing” in Breton), this oval unisex shape offers a contemporary look with vintage charm. This Bordeaux-coloured finish is reminiscent of a unique type of seaweed found on the coast of Brittany: Solieria chordalis, also known as ‘red hair’. Like ‘red tides’ created by the swell and the tides, it can be seen on beaches from time to time, contrasting sharply with the light-coloured sand. It can be found in our Quiberon region both on the beaches and on certain shells in the bay.
