【LESAGE/About Lesage】

 

✅ The history of Chanel and Lesage

There are many ateliers that create Chanel's Métiers d'Art collections, and among them, Lesage is the most famous.

They handle embroidery for multiple fashion houses, such as Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel, at the two annual haute couture shows.

 

Since its establishment in 1858, Lesage has been favored by Napoleon III and has supported Parisian haute couture.

In 1983, when Karl Lagerfeld was appointed, the doors of Chanel opened to Lesage.

In 2002, Lesage also joined the Métiers d'Art, and they have been creating haute couture pieces with their exceptional craftsmanship.

  

 

✅ Lesage's Mind-boggling Manual Work

At Lesage, embroidery is spun by hand.

30 hours for hat embroidery,
415 hours for trouser embroidery! 😲

In any case, the time spent on their creations is extraordinary...

The same immense amount of time is also spent on tweed.

 

Various materials are used in tweed, such as organza and plastic, ribbons, tapes, strings, and thin ropes.
Some even use material torn from shirt fabric!

To weave ribbons and tapes flat, the machine must naturally be stopped for manual work. 

A job that a machine can weave in an hour takes a full day for Chanel's tweed!

This meticulous work creates tweed that reaches the realm of art.

The interwoven threads create a unique, gentle texture.

 

✅  The beauty of "wearable jewelry"

Currently, the archives preserve a vast collection of 75,000 embroidery samples, and the embroidery collection since 1858 has become a precious treasure that tells the story of fashion history.

The tweed, meticulously woven, is so beautiful that it is described as "wearable jewelry."

It is a long-established company that continues to fascinate not only celebrities but also women all over the world.

It's no wonder Lesage is called the "dream embroiderer."

Lesage, which always works closely with Chanel to produce beadwork,
creates beautiful works of art through tens of hours of manual labor by artisans.
