Manufactures de Tricots Jean Ruiz: one knit, workshops, one vision
Garment making knits in France is not based on a single design. Between volumes, technicality and product development, the industrial realities are multiple. The group led by Karine Renouil-Tiberghien and Arnaud de Belabre is built on this complementarity.
45 years of structured savoir-faire at LG Couture
Founded in 1981 following the closure of a major garment manufacturer, LG Couture today specializes in the manufacture of structured garments for high-end customers and Luxury houses. Over more than forty years in business, the company has undergone several revival phases, enabling it to adapt its positioning in a context marked by profound changes in the apparel industry.
Elite's mastery of knits
In the heart of the Roanne region, historically linked to knits, Elite embodies a reality often overlooked: that of workshops capable not only of producing, but above all of designing the material itself. This specificity sets knitting apart in the textile chain, halfway between industry, craftsmanship and technical development.
Miditex, three generations at the service of a generalist workshop
In Quelmes, Pas-de-Calais, the Miditex workshop bears witness to a history that began in the aftermath of the Second World War. From children's garment making to women's ready-to-wear, from the years of globalization to the revival of Made in France, the company has gone through the cycles of the industry without giving up on producing in France.
Atelier Caraco where sewing becomes a living art
In a charming Parisian atelier where historic corsets, stage silhouettes and Haute Couture prototypes meet, Atelier Caraco has been cultivating a rare savoir-faire for almost forty years, on the frontier between runway shows and the performing arts. Theater, opera, ballet, cinema, batches, museums or store windows: here, the garment is a living construction, designed for a body, a role, a movement.
Chantelle Épernay, corsetry excellence and diversification
In the heart of Épernay, the emblematic city of Champagne, lies another jewel of French heritage: the Chantelle workshop. For over sixty years, it has embodied the excellence of corsetry, supported by the group's fine mastery of materials, gestures and product development. As Chantelle approaches its 150th anniversary, the atelier is a place where technical heritage is turned to production versatility.
