Created in 2009 by Marie Macon and Anne-Laure Lesquoy, the French brand offers embroidered accessories inspired by the trips they have made together. Engaged, funny, sometimes whimsical, and always poetic, the look Marie and Anne-Laure take at our world cunningly blends softness and cheek.
Marie and Anne-Laure brought the bullion thread embroidery borrowed from the military badges up-to-date. Bead, gold and silver thread embroideries have developed from the 17th century in Asia and Europe.
It is very ancient know-how in Pakistan, where the craftspeople are highly qualified. Under the rule of the British Empire, the grandfather of Macon&Lesquoy’s foreman actually embroidered the English military uniforms.
