Our Story

The Story of Le Grand Geste

Paris likes its croissants small — neat, polite, almost apologetic.

New York is none of those things. Here, a gift has to land. It has to make people stop mid-sentence and pull out their phones.

So we took the most French thing we could think of and made it impossible to ignore. One kilogram of butter croissant, stuffed to order, sealed like a keepsake, and delivered in a heavy matte bag with silk handles.

It's not a pastry. It's a grand gesture.

L'éléphant n'oublie jamais. Neither will they.

The croissant is the gift. The reaction is the point.

Every table stops.Every phone comes out.

You can usually tell when the box has arrived without looking at the table.

Someone is already filming it.
