There are encounters that push us to think differently, that make us want to make things happen. This is the case with Emmanuel Lelièvre, great-grandson of the founder of the famous Maison Lelièvre, who introduced us to the incredible archives of his publishing house created in 1914 and recognized for its expertise and know-how. to do with furnishing fabrics.
This textile temple immersed us in the very essence of the French art of living and offered us a unique journey through more than a century of creation. Satins, taffetas, lampas, damasks, chiseled velvets, so much exceptional know-how that echoes the richness of our French industrial and cultural heritage.
In order to continue Maison Lelièvre's commitment to the fight against waste, we wanted to bring these exceptional fabrics back to life. Together, we selected fabric scraps directly from the House's historical archives and made two everyday products: a clutch and a tote bag.
Materials, patterns, colors, exceptional know-how, they are all different, all unique. By offering them to yourself, you revalue these fabrics from another time, imbued with memories. You treat yourself to a piece of history.
