About

Behind every Boucan Chapacan creation lies a passion, a savoir-faire and the discipline of bespoke craft.

The story of

Boucan Chapacan

My name is Émilie Allard, founder of Boucan Chapacan.

Passionate about sewing from an early age, I earned my diploma in made-to-measure couture in 1998. For over 25 years, I have devoted my savoir-faire to unique, personalised creations.

Over the years, I have founded and grown several ventures in the world of bespoke. Each experience enriched my vision, refined my standards and nurtured my passion for artisanal excellence.

Boucan Chapacan was born more than 10 years ago, from a dream and a conviction: to offer high-end, fully bespoke neoprene wetsuits for those who live the sea with passion.

Today, this neoprene couture house is the first of its kind, combining technical mastery, elegance and personal guidance.

Every detail matters. Every client is unique.
