The Dandy Woman Styled By Poirier

As America honors the elegance of Superfine tailoring, the artistry of Dandyism, and the innovation of Black Fashion, we proudly celebrate Poirier, one of the most fashionable bridal accessories houses in the Netherlands. Founded in 1991 by Nathalie and Alexander Pereboom, Poirier has become a global tastemaker, designing high-quality bridal wear and accessories for the modern, forward-thinking bride.

What makes this celebration even more meaningful is the rich, historical connection between Harlem, New York, and Haarlem and Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The Harlem neighborhood takes its name from the Dutch city of Haarlem, and both regions have long histories of artistic innovation, cultural richness, and fashion-forward thinking. From the Harlem Renaissance to the Golden Age of Dutch art, both places have birthed movements that shaped the world in music, visual arts, and style.

Today, Poirier stands as a bridge between these cultural powerhouses, honoring this shared legacy with designs that speak to beauty, boldness, and love. Their intricate veils, corsets, and fashion accessories carry the same passion that once lit up jazz clubs in Harlem and art ateliers in Amsterdam.

Bridal wear and accessories make every bride unique,” says Nathalie Pereboom. With Poirier, every bride becomes a muse in her own masterpiece.
