Maison Lemarié is rooted in Parisian craftsmanship and its tradition of featherwork. In 1880 by Palmyre Coyette, the atelier was originally founded as a featherworking workshop, one of 300 in the city at the time. The finest feathers were meticulously crafted to adorn the hats and boas worn in cabarets. In 1946, the founder's grandson, André Lemarié, revitalised the workshop by introducing its distinctive know-how to major fashion houses and expanding into artificial flower making.

In the 1960s, Gabrielle Chanel turned to the unique skills of Maison Lemarié for the creation of camellias: the flower that became the emblem of Chanel. Since then, the atelier has continually reinvented this flower in silk, chiffon, velvet and tweed. The camellia continues to blossom in delicate fabrics with each new collection. Beyond its expertise in feathers and flowers, the team of artisans also demonstrates its excellence at couture through incrustations, flounces, sophisticated smocking and pleats. Over the years, Maison Lemarié has succeeded in preserving its rare savoir-faire, passing on masterful gestures, while embracing the modernity of its time.
