Craftsmanship is not a trend. It doesn't disappear from one season to the next, and is founded on a close link with the ethical principles and sustainable practices that must shape fashion. Supporting craftsmanship is to value creation that endures, and that carries with it a history.

At La Makanerie, we work in a spirit of slowness and scarcity, the opposite of fast fashion. Fast fashion is in no way comparable to the work we do with our partner atelier, which is family-run, small-scale, and prides itself on concentrating on the details. Our garments are made from silk and wool woven just a few kilometers from the workshop, according to a strict label which guarantees production free from toxic chemicals, where waste water resulting from processing is treated and where staff work under decent wage and health conditions.

For this very special collection, we chose to work with a different kind of silk, in the image of Alymamah Rashed's artwork. Luminous and strong, yet lively and organic. "I hold your petals closely” is the story of a special silk, where silk cocoons are treated in the most natural way possible. Left to their authentic life cycle, silkworms hatch naturally, breaking the thread of their natural envelope. To weave the silk that gives birth to our scarves, the threads must be joined and knotted, giving the fabric an exceptional consistency. We chose a textured silk, like our intimate stories, where the knots are not erased but delicately exposed. We wanted them to reflect your identity, and the stories you'll create with your scarf.
