La Robe Bleue is a brand of chic maternity wear with an unmistakable European flair designed by me - Orly Rodrigue. I grew up in a very creative family, my father an architect and my mother a seamstress. My artistic home was where I acquired my love for design, colors and fabrics. Even as a child, I knew I wanted to become a fashion designer!
I began my formal studies in fashion at the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel, and later transferred to the Studio Berçot Fashion Design School in Paris, France. There I received my undergraduate degree. The need to understand fashion design within a larger context led me to the Paris-Sorbonne University, where I earned a Master’s degree in Art History.

Finally feeling well-equipped to contribute to the world of fashion design, I began working with a variety of fashion designers, among them Vanessa Bruno, with whom I worked for three years. Later I worked as a fashion consultant for Peclers Paris, a leading fashion consulting agency.

It was during my first pregnancy that I noticed that maternity clothing were designed mostly to be functional and were not at all fashionable. That’s when my maternity line was born. In 2004, while still living in Paris, I established my own line of designer maternity clothing. Each year I present La Robe Bleue’s maternity collections at renowned international fashion shows, in Italy, France, Germany and Japan. Among the customers that feature La Robe Bleue’s exclusive line of women’s clothing are some of the most prestigious retail chains, luxury stores and boutiques in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv, Moscow, Paris, and many other fashion capitals in Europe. After 15 years in Paris, I came back to my home town and created here a beautiful studio. It’s an open space for creating and manufacturing in the back, and a beautiful showroom & boutique up front. I’m very excited to have finally open up my Etsy shop so we can now reach you too!

I take special pride in creating high-quality and stylish maternity clothing that is flattering and comfortable. I don’t want you to sacrifice your style while you’re expecting. My luxury maternity clothing line is geared toward fashion forward mothers and mothers-to-be. You might be working right up until your due date and need great work clothes that keep you looking professional and stylish, or maybe you are just looking for an amazingly chic maternity dress for a formal occasion or the perfect outfit for your baby shower. All can be found here at my shop. Another great aspect of my designs is that you can wear most of the collection after the end of your pregnancy. Take a look around, I hope you find something you love.

Thanks for visiting my shop!
