French chain Monoprix is launching a third exclusive collection with Antik Batik, the Paris label that WWD describes as synonymous with bohemian chic, a loose, folk-inspired style built on prints, embroidery and layered textures.

Monoprix is a French chain of stores, many of them in city centres, that sells clothing, home goods and everyday products at mid-range prices. Its exclusive collections bring in a designer's name for a limited range sold through the chain.

The new Antik Batik range includes folkloric vests with fur lining, quilted jackets with small floral prints, and embroidered dresses and blouses. The collaboration also reaches into the home, with bedding, tableware and decorative objects.

Prices start at 10 euros for socks. The most expensive piece is an embroidered coat in a shearling style, a fabric and cut designed to look like sheepskin, which costs about 95 euros.

The collection will be sold in 80 Monoprix stores across France and on the Monoprix online store.

This is the third time the two have worked together. Antik Batik and Monoprix previously collaborated in 2012 and 2016.

Gabriella Cortese is the founder and creative director of Antik Batik. She leads the label's designs for the new range.

For shoppers, the spread of prices stands out. A pair of socks and a coat sit in the same collection, and the home items sit alongside the clothes under one name.
