How we work

Pleated, sculpted, colored silks. Art & Craft studio in Lyon. Textile and fashion design. Production of accessories, scarves, stoles and textile objects, unique piece and small series. In a rigorous, methodical quest, the intrinsic properties of different silk fabrics are used to create varied collections.
