Expertise
A specialisation in luxury, the result of 30 years of experience in textiles.
Craftsmanship
Our craftsmanship
Silk, guipure, leather, fluid fabrics or pleats: every material has its own techniques, and our workshops master them all.
Silk
A noble, demanding fabric. Cutting, assembly and finishing are designed to preserve its drape and sheen.
Guipure lace
Lace without a ground, worked motif by motif. Our machinists match every repeat with a jeweller's precision.
Woven fabrics
Denim, canvas and structured weaves: straight-grain rigour and the hold of impeccable construction.
Fluid fabrics
Crepes, chiffons and fluid prints that call for a light hand and perfect control of the bias.
Leather
Leathers and skins handled with the right tools and touch, from placement to the final stitch.
Pleating
Permanent, sunray or box pleats that bring movement and volume to each piece.
Process
From idea to garment
Our design office supports clients in developing styles and produces patterns, grading and tech packs. A dedicated sample room works alongside it on press collections and small runs.
A first sample is produced and sent to the client, together with a checklist specific to each style, so quality is perfected before production starts.
Once styles are approved, production starts in one of our six workshops with a three-week shipping lead time. A network of highly qualified subcontractors adds capacity when needed.
We also deliver finished products on request. Sourcing follows our clients' approved supplier list, and lead times are set case by case.
