THE HISTORY OF PATATE
PATATE opened its doors on the 17th November 2020 - right in the middle of the COVID pandemic. You could say that this was a business baby conceived in confinement! Rachel, whose career in marketing led her to open a branding agency in the early 2000's, needed to find a source of income as business ground to a halt at the beginning of the pandemic and she had often felt frustrated at the lack of good food shops in the area. When people want to eat healthily where can they find a decent choice of products this side of the presque île ? She teamed up with Pierre, a carpenter and furniture designer by trade living in the building next to her office in order to create her vision of a village style store in the heart of the city.
Pierre designed and produced the bespoke fixtures and fixturings and set about learning the ins and outs of buying fresh produce, whilst Rachel imagined the brand image and product range. She wanted all the products to be a feast for the eyes as well as for the taste buds! And for those of you who ask where the name came from - let's just say that it made both of them laugh. PATATE in French (literally 'spud' in English) is the name children call each other when they do something silly.
