Frequently Asked Questions
What is CiToutBeau?
CiToutBeau is a Philadelphia-based, Black-owned handmade crochet brand creating limited-edition hats, gloves, bags, and statement pieces designed to stand out. No two pieces are ever identical — each creation is intentionally crafted as wearable art.
Founded in 2016, CiToutBeau began as a freelance beauty brand serving the city with lip gloss, lashes, and later skincare essentials. After a thoughtful rebrand in 2026, we evolved into a refined crochet house — still rooted in creativity, quality, and exceptional customer experience.
