Someone here is confused. 1000euros is not too expensive?
REALLY!

Valerie, without knowing exactly how much the seamstresses charge, I can tell you that it is not that easy to “just open the Yellow Pages” and find highly qualified artisans in Paris. Part of the price goes into hunting down these people and making it worth their while to construct made-to-measure dresses in limited quantities, and under very short notice. Zeva

Seriously, looking at the designs featured, the price doesn’t sound right, unless the seamstresses are highly expensive – and I know for a fact they don’t charge that much, even in France for the dresses featured in the pictures.

We do provide the same services in LONDON (a city renowned for NOT being cheap) and we charge around 200-500GBP ( i.e. 400 Euros- 800Euros) for the same type of “simple” designs…
Give me a break!

Why use their services when you can skip the intermediary and go directly to the seamstress? Just open the Yellow Pages!

This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I have 2 friends on their way to Paris and I will let them know. They can easily come home with a “Paris Original.”

I love this site- it is so full of interesting links, stories. Well done. I adore these dresses and the whole concept (not new but decidedly forgotten) of manufacturing in-house, with care and love and attention. Very few if any luxury houses do this now, I visited Gucci atelier a few years ago an then they still used local craftsman to make buckles, buttons, stitching, etc on items of leather goods. Fabulous work, fantastic continuation of family traditions and teaching the new generations the “old” skills which are so relevant if the luxury industry wants to stay just that, pure unadulterated luxury.
