the Maisons

Atelier Montex specialises in needle embroidery, Lunéville hook and Cornely machine embroidery. Combining tradition and innovation, the Maison blends ancestral techniques with contemporary experimentation to develop decorative and ornamental projects. Today, Atelier Montex continues its creative journey, guided by a commitment to quality and new influences. 

Desrues crafts jewellery, buttons and accessories for the most famous fashion houses. These aesthetic and technical creations require exceptional expertise and countless hours of work. As Gabrielle Chanel’s official jewellery maker, Desrues became the first Maison to join what would later become CHANEL’s Métiers d’art ecosystem in 1985. 

Specialising in the design and manufacture of lingerie, swimwear and activewear, ERES combines traditional corsetry expertise with the latest contemporary techniques. In the workshop, pattern makers, cutters and seamstresses work alongside the designers who create the collections.   

A rare combination of jewellery studio and interior design workshop, Goossens has been writing its story since 1950. An exceptional goldsmith and iconic jewellery designer, Goossens creates body and space jewellery crafted by its artisans. At the intersection of art and goldsmithing, each Goossens piece of jewellery and object evokes emotion, character and magic. 

Lemarié is a French Maison d’art founded by Palmyre Coyette, specialising in the art of feathers, flowers, pleats, couture and textile embellishment. Its artisans handcraft flowers, feathers, smocking, pleats and ruffles. While feathers are its historic area of expertise, over time Lemarié has brought together a rare and precious range of Métiers d’art passed down with passion. 

Maison Lesage and its artisans began collaborating with Haute Couture very early on. Specialising in needle and Lunéville crochet embroidery – and, since the 1990s, tweed – Lesage embodies excellence. It has the largest collection of embroidery samples in the world, thus preserving a unique heritage. 

Lesage Intérieurs designs and creates handmade embroideries for furnishing and decoration. Museums, art galleries, decorators, private collectors, and interior designers: the company’s artisans develop prestigious projects and works for clients all over the world. 

Atelier Lognon transforms silk, tulle, muslin, organza and leather into a textile architecture with multiple folds: laid, flat, accordion, Watteau, sun or Fortuny. This unique expertise is used in Haute Couture, ready-to-wear and decoration. Since 2013, as part of Maison Lemarié, the atelier has preserved a heritage of savoir-faire and excellence for which there is no formal training. 

Maison Michel creates exceptional hats and headwear accessories thanks to its talented hatmakers, formers and milliners, who respect a tradition of hatmaking passed down from generation to generation. The Maison handcrafts pieces for ready-to-wear and Haute Couture. Since 2006, the workshop has been creating its own collections under the Maison Michel brand. 

Massaro is now the only bespoke shoemaker for women in the world. In 1957, the Maison collaborated with Gabrielle Chanel to design a two-tone shoe with a small heel. This creative piece remains an icon of Parisian elegance to this day. As the official shoemaker to the great couturiers, Massaro now divides its activity between couture creations for fashion shows and bespoke designs for a female and male clientele. 

Specialising in soft and flowing fabrics (flou), Paloma creates projects for ready-to-wear and Haute Couture. The Maison d’art has dedicated departments:  textile design, pattern making, assembly and manufacturing. From technical details to complete garment construction, its artisans are involved in every stage of the production process, guaranteeing expertise and excellence. 

Studio MTX gives embroidery a new field of expression: interior design. Both a creative studio and a workshop, Studio MTX imagines and creates unique materials for interior designers and architects, using a unique combination of techniques from craftsmanship, applied art and design.
