I felt as though I was sent back in time to my own Paris visit, 1996, just prior to the Chanel purchase of A. Michele. I am a milliner who'd been researching and looking for Pierre Debard when I entered the house to find him there! It was a warm July, yet he was very stylishly dressed in a suit and fedora. I was in awe to discover that this man was, in fact, M. Debard! I was so sorry to hear about his death in 2003. I felt as thought I had met the "Pope" of hat making! What a thrill! I still feel excited every time I think about my visit to A. MIchele and to the most fabulous workrooms of Lorenzo and Lucie Ré at La Forme in Paris! I have beautiful memories (and a photo) of my visit ... and still possess a few lush blank bodies of straw and felt from A. Michele amongst my most coveted workroom supplies. My hat's off to you!

I found you today via a link from Craftzine. I'm now following you on twitter and going through your archives here. What a great site you have. I have always followed French artisans, fashion, the countryside and just would lose myself in daydreams. Thank you for bringing these wonderful artisans to your readers. I hope to be able to visit France soon. Je parle Francais un peu. Faye @bettertweets Beautiful work at Maison Michel!
