Lunéville hook embroidery
an excellence craftsmanship
Also know as broderie d’art, the Lunéville hook embroidery is still the main technique that is used in haute couture workshops. It is also this technique Julie Barbeau uses to realize her sparkling textiles. Embroidery is worked upside down, after having stretched the fabric on an embroidery loom. Each sequin is fixed one by one, held by a chain stitch entirely made by hand, using the hook.

& sustainable process
Every raw materials we use is carefully selected to meet ecological, ethical and responsible criteria. Our suppliers and partners engage to precisely give us information about the origin of their materials, their locations and their processing methods, promoting trust and transparency.

textile fibers
The fabrics we use for artworks and collections are 100% made from French flax fibers, Italian hemp and reclaimed cotton. Those fibers are, in most cases and by choice, undyed and unbleached. Depending on the specific needs of projects we work on, we ask our specialized partners in vegetable dyeing and ennoblement, to obtain required color shades, while respecting our commitments and values.
Our cotton yarns are made in the Hauts-de-France and our sequins come from the only historic French manufacturer, EPV certified and compliant with the REACH regulations.
