In the United States during the Prohibition era in the 1920s, the slang for glasses was "cheater" (derived from the act of sneaking a peek). This has been changed to " guépard ".

The logo design depicts a cheetah peering intently with one eye.
The name also contains a sarcastic remark from Yamamura and Yanagihara, the owners of both stores who have been dealing in French vintage clothing since its early days and who helped create its current popularity, that they are "cheating (sneaking a peek at) only the surface of vintage (original) clothing" when it comes to designers who create modern "vintage-style" designs.

Design Concept
Standard jazz was essential to keeping people excited during the Prohibition era.
Just as the music itself was later passed down as material for improvisational performances, this collection offers a new interpretation of French vintage music, inheriting the high design quality of French vintage music while arranging it to suit a delicate and modern atmosphere.
