Product Insights
The Julien Open Bangle Bracelet by Midi34 is a $55 CAD Quebec-designed and assembled piece, available for in-store try-on at the Laurier Québec boutique. The brand, named after founder Jessie Bourgault's birth time following her mother's death, gained fashion recognition at Milan Fashion Week 2024 with coverage in Harper's Bazaar and Elle. The bangle features a slide-on technique that requires setting the gap only once to avoid metal fatigue. It offers a choice between a self-healing silver finish that resists rust and a gold-plated finish that lasts months to years with care; both cost the same, but the gold finish wears with use while the silver finish is indefinitely durable. The core promise is local craftsmanship and fashion credibility, with the main tradeoff being the need for careful single adjustment and the gold finish's limited longevity.
Verified claims
- Founder story
- Midi34 is named after founder Jessie Bourgault's birth time, 12:34; she launched the brand after leaving her career following her mother's death.
- Press coverage
- Midi34 exhibited at Milan Fashion Week in September 2024 and earned press coverage from Harper's Bazaar and Elle.
- Manufacturing
- Designed and assembled in Quebec City.
- Try-on
- Available for try-on at Midi34 boutique in Laurier Québec.
- Slide-on technique
- The Julien is an open bangle with no clasp; slide it onto the side of the wrist by pressing and rolling the end into the fleshy area after setting the gap once.
- Adjustment
- The open bangle can be gently adjusted in small increments to fit the wrist, but repeated bending can fatigue the metal; set the gap once and then slide it on and off.
- Rust resistance
- The 316L stainless steel used in the silver finish forms a transparent chromium oxide layer that regenerates after surface scratches, so scratches won't start rust.
- Finish
- The gold-tone finish is a plating or PVD coating over stainless steel, not solid gold-toned metal; with proper care it can last months to years before wear shows.
- Gold vs silver tradeoff
- The gold-plated finish can wear with daily use, while the silver stainless steel finish is more resistant to everyday wear; both variants are priced at $55 CAD.
- Local value
- Quebec-designed and assembled bangle at $55 CAD, with gold-plated finish that may wear.
- Brand story
- Founded by Quebec native Jessie Bourgault, with a boutique at Laurier Québec.
- Fit range
- The Julien's 6 cm inner diameter equals about an 18.8 cm circumference, and the open style lets it slide over wrists smaller or larger than that with minor gap adjustment.
