My cherie amour, il croissant, si’l vous plaîts.

We’ll pardon your French, since everyone’s faking it these days.

Eryn Brinié (air-in brin-aye) is the nom de plume for a Korean line of chic French-inspired clothing with that certain élan.

Simple city dresses with drop waists in muted pinks would be any mademoiselle’s go-to summer staple. Cascading ruffles on a white sundress’s neckline recall the roaring ’20s. And knit cardigans with shimmer piping, tulle, or a touch of lace can pair with jeans and a tank or top the feminine frocks.

The label’s getting attention in the U.S. because of its affordable price tags and classic but distinctive cuts.

Just the thing to leave you tongue-tied.

With luck, en français.
