What Philippe Conticini does
Maison Philippe Conticini Paris is a French single-brand specialty pâtisserie maison operating under the privately held CONTICINI SAS, founded in 2018 by chef-pâtissier Philippe Conticini (born 16 August 1963, Choisy-le-Roi) and associate Yoav Peretz as the Chef's first eponymous project. The Maison sells signature pastries (Tarte Citron from €10, Fraisier €11.90, Le Pur Vanille €12.70), viennoiseries anchored by the flagship Le Croissant Gourmand XXL (€35), and gift items through a Shopify-powered e-commerce site (multilingual FR/EN/简体中文) and a network of 10+ boutiques across Paris (7th, 16th, 1st Place Dauphine, 3rd, Montmartre), Boulogne-Billancourt, an embedded corner at Galeries Lafayette Gourmet, and London (Camden Market, Buckstreet, South Kensington, Islington).
The product surface combines retail (transaction-fee pastry and viennoiserie sales, dry/soft gift items for home delivery within metropolitan France), experiential services (paid Masterclasses "Du Geste à l'Émotion" at €280 per attendee, co-created with Jeffrey Cagnes at the Place Dauphine atelier, frequently sold out), and bespoke commissions via a "Sur mesure" events page. Distribution blends 24-hour-pre-order Click & Collect for fresh items, home delivery of non-perishables, hosted retail at Galeries Lafayette Gourmet, and gift vouchers (Bons cadeaux) valid one year — all transacted through Shopify's PCI-compliant payment gateway supporting Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, Shop Pay, Bancontact, Cartes Bancaires and Klarna.
The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external investors; ownership and control rest with the founders under a French SAS structure registered at the RCS de Paris (SIRET 75299257800092). Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range, geographic reach spans France and the United Kingdom, and the Maison's positioning leans on Chef Conticini's documented culinary innovations (including the 1994 invention of verrines), recurring French TV jury appearances on Le Meilleur Pâtissier, and a portfolio of signature creations positioned as modern pastry classics.
