Founded in 2020 by French designer Alice Vaillant, Vaillant has rapidly established itself as a leading luxury ready-to-wear brand. Renowned for its refined designs, 1990s-inspired aesthetic and strong sense of duality, the brand has already attracted the attention of an international clientele.
Since its Design in 1946, Real Stamm, the workshop of the Royal Mer brand, has established itself as a symbol of high-quality flat knits. The family business, run over three generations, was taken over in 2015 by Hervé and Roland Coulombel, aware of the immense potential of this historic savoir-faire, which they set out to preserve, while responding to today's challenges.
In the heart of La Chartre-sur-le-Loir, the Marck & Balsan Group's trimmings workshop preserves a unique artisanal savoir-faire. It is a benchmark in the production of braided trims and military ornaments. Under the direction of Laurent Marck, the Group's Managing Director, the workshop perpetuates ancestral techniques, respecting tradition and excellence.
The Académie Internationale de Coupe de Paris benefits from the aura of manual professions and the industry's growing need for model makers, linked to relocation.
In the demanding landscape of French manufacturing, Établissements Thierry - Fonlupt shine through their commitment to excellence, preservation and the transmission of savoir-faire. Run with passion and determination by Amedi Nacer since their respective acquisitions in 2003 and 2012, these workshops embody the essence of French craftsmanship.
