Zadig & Voltaire

Looking for second hand Zadig & Voltaire pieces? Whether it’s a cashmere jumper, a studded leather bag or the perfect worn-in boot, Zadig & Voltaire offers effortless Parisian cool with a rebellious edge. This is laid-back luxury with attitude - rock ‘n’ roll essentials for modern wardrobes, made with quality fabrics and distinctive flair.

Founded in Paris in 1997 by Thierry Gillier - the grandson of Lacoste co-founder André Gillier -  Zadig & Voltaire was born from a desire to create casual yet luxurious everyday fashion that didn’t feel fussy. Drawing inspiration from music, literature and art, Gillier named the brand after a novella by Voltaire, signalling his intention to mix classic French style with a free-spirited, intellectual twist.

Over the years, the brand has built a cult following across Europe and beyond, beloved for its cool, urban aesthetic and commitment to everyday wearability. Think leather biker jackets, relaxed tailoring, slogan T-shirts, distressed denim and soft knits -  the kind of pieces that can be worn effortlessly from day to night.

Zadig & Voltaire is proof that luxury doesn’t have to shout -  it just needs the right cut, the right fabric and the right edge.

Why Zadig & Voltaire Has a Cult Following

Zadig & Voltaire has become a wardrobe staple for those who want their fashion with a bit of grit and personality. There’s something undeniably cool about the brand’s signature aesthetic - equal parts nonchalant and intentional.

What sets Zadig & Voltaire apart is the balance of softness and strength. Pieces are relaxed, but never sloppy. The materials are premium - cashmere, silk, leather, washed cotton - but the styling feels lived-in and individual. It’s fashion for people who like to mix elegance with ease.

Signature Style Features Include:

- Distressed finishes and rock-inspired graphics

- Slouchy cashmere knits with star or lightning bolt motifs

- Metallic threads and military-inspired detailing

- Edgy accessories with chains, studs or slogans

- An androgynous, streetwise silhouette

Whether you’re pairing a silk blouse with leather trousers or throwing a slogan sweatshirt over a slip dress, Zadig & Voltaire gives you the tools to look polished, but never overdone.
