Lemaire

Cosmopolitan, sophisticated and versatile, Lemaire is known for its ability to attract attention through its minimalist designs. With a cool, calm and confident air, its bags and accessories exude a poetic beauty, which is hardly surprising when you think about the creative duo behind the brand. Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran both studied literature, which no doubt explains their astonishing ability to imagine pieces that transcend time and styles, almost like a love poem. With its soft hues, supple silhouettes, and assertive Parisian style, Maison Lemaire advocates an elegant and understated luxury that comes to life through the depth of its colours and the technicality of its craftsmanship. Its accessories are made in Spain, Italy and France. Their clean lines and contours take their inspiration from the art of Asian clothing, where particular attention is paid to freedom of movement. Thanks to its understated, seemingly simple style, Lemaire communicates with all kinds of people, offering a wealth of opportunity to experiment and reinterpret the looks. For the past few years, Lemaire has also made an impact with its use of leather from the food industry, which is recovered and repurposed using various tanning techniques, before being transformed into the most elegant fashion accessories. Among these accessories is the Camera bag, whose clean contours cleverly evoke the traditional covers of cameras used in the past. More original but no less popular, the Croissant bag is a whimsical yet stylish reference to French culture, with a cheeky, humorous touch. Taking the shape of Parisians' favourite pastry, it comes in various sizes and is carefully crafted through an assembly of curved leather cut-outs. Its leather is so buttery soft that the bag promises to gradually mould itself to the shape of the body that wears it. Whether worn over an androgynous, full denim 'fit, or with an oversized shirt and loafers, Lemaire bags never fail to add a stylish edge to your look.
