Rabanne — Assistant Product Manager, Accessories (Apprenticeship) in Paris. Apprenticeship from Sept 2026 supporting accessories product development and production follow‑up.

Overview

Rabanne is a Parisian fashion maison recognised for avant‑garde ready‑to‑wear and accessories, operating at the intersection of couture craftsmanship and contemporary design. The brand maintains a design-led, atelier-oriented approach and collaborates closely across creative, production and commercial teams.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Support the accessories product lifecycle from concept through production, ensuring alignment with design intent and commercial targets.
  • Prepare and maintain technical documentation and spec sheets; follow up on samples and revisions with ateliers and suppliers.
  • Coordinate production schedules, monitor lead times, and assist in quality control and pre‑production approvals.
  • Collaborate with design, sourcing and merchandising teams to track costs, materials and bill of materials (BOM).
  • Attend fittings and technical reviews; record outcomes and ensure corrective actions are implemented.
  • Manage routine administrative tasks related to product development (file organization, meeting minutes, sample tracking).
  • Contribute to trend and market research to inform seasonal accessory assortments and material choices.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a relevant undergraduate or graduate program (fashion product development, accessory design, industrialization, merchandising or equivalent) and eligible for an apprenticeship (alternance).
  • Basic understanding of accessory construction, materials and production processes.
  • Strong organisational skills with meticulous attention to detail and a methodical approach to sample and document tracking.
  • Effective communicator capable of liaising with internal teams and external ateliers/suppliers.
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced, deadline-driven environment and manage multiple priorities.

Experience

This apprenticeship is aimed at students; no substantial professional experience is required. Previous internships or practical experience in product development, manufacturing follow-up, or with accessories brands is a strong plus.
