Carl and Yacine’s friendship started at the French International School in Washington, DC, where two rebellious spirits, from Haitian and Algerian descent, connected. Both come from nations born out of revolution, and that rebellious drive has always defined them. Despite successful careers—Carl in the U.S. Air Force and Yacine in tech sales—both felt confined by the conventional paths they followed. They wanted to break free and create something meaningful. That’s why they founded Coquin de Classe—not just to make underwear, but to represent a mindset. The Coquin ethos is about breaking boundaries, embracing individuality, and owning your journey with style, confidence, and resilience. Coquin de Classe is more than a brand—it’s a statement. Wear it proudly.
