I have an article from WSJ Magazine (now about a year old) that I tore out + saved, neatly taped in one of my journals. I go back to it often because it listed out the Paris based ateliers used by Chanel. These workshops house, likely, the most incredible materials to construct + create: metal adornments, flowers, feathers, shoes, buttons, and millinery. I flipped out. Then I went into dreamland and pretended that these were my home ateliers. Such a rush.
Here's a peek ...
Guillet (established in 1896)- also in first photo of this post...
Lemarie (established in 1880)
Maison Desrues (established in 1929)
Neat, huh?
