In the Cap D’Adge Naturist Camp we find the EQUIVOK Boutique by Phillipe Barreau. An official partner of Maison Catanzaro.
When we ask him the question “Who is Philippe Barreau?” he answers: “Me lol? the guy who has files on you and everyone else...” So we will try to find out who this secret agent is who knows everything about all of us!
A shopkeeper at the Cap d’Adge naturist camp for 33 long and beautiful seasons, a fan of cooking and good food, he is the teddy bear of the camp for some and the grisely for others. Indeed, he has also been president of the camp’s shopkeepers and defender of their interests for 5 years now! But let’s let him tell us his story and his future projects!
Apart from the files, my dear Phil, can you tell us about your career?
Let's talk in terms of dates!
1991: Martine and I opened our first boutique in Cap d'Agde on July 10, 1991. During this first season, we offered classic ready-to-wear and a bit of sexy.
1992: Having better understood the needs of a female clientele eager for sexy new things, we created the Métamorph'Ose brand. Collections, each one naughtier than the last. 1994: This is the year we met Patrice Catanzaro, who launched the Plaisirs de Marlène brand, then a TV starlet and the sexy muse of Christophe Mourthé. From this first meeting a great friendship was born and of course, the Plaisirs de Marlène collection occupies a beautiful place among naughty underwear and sexy ready-to-wear.
2000: Opening of the Métamorph’Ose boutique in Paris, at 49 rue Quincampoix, in the 4th arrondissement, and its success was immediate. As a result, Martine managed the Parisian boutique and I managed the one in Cap d’Agde during the season, and Martine took off on her own in 2004…. With the meeting of our National Jean Pierre! That’s my story in a nutshell.
What do we find in your shop?
I stayed on the same line. The sexy, libertine and also fetish side Maison Catanzaro and a wide range of shoes. Accessories of all kinds and unique creations too. We find our happiness for sure!
Your future projects with the shop?
I want to sell it during the year! After 33 years, it is time for me to pass the baton. So you are also President of the traders? Yes for 5 years and this will probably be my last year ...
You are the initiator of the Christmas du Cap in July?
Yes 30 years ago, initially for Port nature 5 and for a few years in the whole village. The goal is to offer a different animation. The concept: Celebrate Christmas on July 24, with a distribution of hats, make New Year's Eve menus in the restaurants, and gifts in some shops. And decorations are made in the village.
Are the traders playing the game?
Yes more and more ... It adds value to the summer program!
Other future projects to liven up the life of the businesses on the camp?
It is possible that a Fetish Weekend will see the light of day… Great news indeed!
